Why Chatref
Why convert by hand when Chatref reads your content automatically?
Clean Markdown is the perfect format to train an AI on. Rather than converting documents by hand, Chatref ingests your PDF, files, and URLs automatically and answers customers from them – cited, 24/7, with human handoff when needed.

Is the PDF to Markdown converter free?
Yes. It's free with no sign up – upload a .pdf file and get clean Markdown back.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
No. Scanned or image-only PDFs have no selectable text, so they need OCR first. This tool extracts text from PDFs that already contain real text.
Does the file stay private?
The file is converted on our server only to produce your Markdown and is not stored. Only .pdf files are supported.
Why convert a PDF to Markdown?
