Why Markdown output needs structure detection, not just text

A useful PDF-to-Markdown conversion has to distinguish headings from body text, detect bullet and numbered lists, and recognize bold/italic runs — a plain text dump loses all of that and turns a well-structured document into an undifferentiated wall of text.

PrivaPDF looks at font size, weight, and indentation to infer heading levels and list structure, then emits standard Markdown syntax (# headings, - lists, **bold**) so the result is ready to drop into a README, wiki, or static site without hand-formatting.

Common questions

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device.

Does this work offline?

Yes. Once the page is loaded, you can disconnect from the internet and the tool will still work perfectly.
