What Our Users Say
Trusted by knowledge workers, developers, and legal teams worldwide
“We were spending 3 hours per case manually copying text from scanned depositions. MDConvert with AI Vision does it in minutes. The table extraction alone saved our paralegals an entire day per week.”
“I converted my entire library of 40+ coaching books into Markdown and built a custom GPT that references all of them. My clients now get personalized insights pulled from decades of leadership research. Game changer.”
“We tried Pandoc, pdf2md, and three other tools before finding MDConvert. The difference is night and day — especially for PDFs with complex tables and multi-column layouts. Our RAG pipeline accuracy jumped 40% just by switching the document prep step.”
“I manage document conversion for a team of 12 writers. The batch ZIP upload alone saves us hours. And the Markdown output is so clean that our CMS imports it without any manual formatting fixes.”
