Good to know
- Layout detection is approximate. Review reading order and tables, especially in complex documents.
- Repeated headers and footers are removed when detected. Footnotes stay in the text.
- OCR reads pages without selectable text. English and Hindi engines download from this site on first use.
- Images are exported as page-rendered crops; charts made only of vector shapes are not extracted.
Why it's private
Processed in your browser
The tool runs on your device. There is no upload step and no server that receives your files.
Works offline
Wait for Offline ready before disconnecting. OCR and Office conversion also need their engines saved on this device.
No ads or trackers
Tool pages load no ads, no analytics scripts and no third-party code.
Questions
Does this use cloud AI?
No. Layout analysis and optional OCR run on this device. Your document is not sent to a server.
What does the ZIP contain?
document.md and an images folder. Keep them together so relative image links work. Without images, you receive a .md file.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser does the work on this device, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded. Nothing is sent to a server.
