How does PDF to Markdown work?

Drop your PDF file and each page is OCR'd using AI. The recognized text, math equations, tables, and code are then converted to Markdown format that you can copy and paste.

How accurate is the OCR for equations?

Very accurate for printed and typed equations. Handwritten math may have lower accuracy. You can check the preview before copying to verify the result.

What's the page limit for PDFs?

Up to 10 pages per PDF, with a daily limit of 2 PDF conversions for free users. The limit resets daily.

What's supported

Math and LaTeX equations — rendered perfectly in Markdown

Why use this

PDFs lock content in a fixed layout that doesn't paste cleanly into Markdown. Copy Anywhere uses OCR to extract and reformat everything — so your math, tables, and rich text look perfect inside Markdown.
