Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the text extraction?
Our text extraction is highly accurate for digital PDFs (those created from digital documents). For scanned PDFs, the accuracy depends on the quality of the scan and whether the PDF has been OCR-processed.
What's the difference between TXT and Markdown output?
Plain text (.txt) provides just the raw text content, while Markdown (.md) preserves basic formatting like headings, bold text, and lists using Markdown syntax. Choose Markdown if you want to maintain some text formatting.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes, you can convert PDF files up to 100MB in size. For optimal performance and faster conversion, we recommend keeping files under 50MB. If you have a larger file, you might want to split it into smaller documents first.
