Convert PDF to Markdown (MD)
Upload a PDF and get MD back. The tool reads the text layer of the file and keeps the headings, lists, and tables it finds. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF, and EPUB files also work. If a page is a scan, Anthropic Claude reads the page image instead.
Your file is held in storage only for the seconds of the request and is deleted when the result returns. Scanned pages are read by Anthropic Claude. Files up to 20 MB, first 20 pages. Large photos are resized in your browser before upload.
Receiving documents like this from clients?
zendoc reads every PDF and photo a client uploads, on arrival, and flags the files that are unreadable, incomplete, or the wrong type, so your team sees the problem before the client is gone.

Yes. The tool accepts Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF, and EPUB files as well as PDF.
Do you store my file?
No. The file goes into storage for the seconds the request takes, and zendoc deletes it when the result returns. Nothing is kept.
