Why LLMtoMD

More than a converter — a data layer for AI

Token-efficient output

Clean headings, tables, and lists instead of raw text dumps — up to ~70% fewer tokens than pasting a PDF, so prompts stay lean.

AI Vision for scans

Scanned PDFs, photos, and handwritten notes are read by a vision model, not just OCR — the documents other tools give up on.

Semantic search

Every document is chunked and embedded automatically, so you can search your library by meaning, not just keywords.

Document Q&A

Ask a question and get a cited answer drawn from your own documents — retrieval-augmented out of the box.

Structured extraction

Define reusable field schemas (invoice number, total, parties…) and pull structured data from any document or batch.

Knowledge graph

Entities are linked across your whole corpus into a queryable graph — see how documents and concepts connect.

How it works

From messy files to clean Markdown in seconds

1

Upload or connect

Drop a file, paste a URL, POST to the API, or point a watched folder at your storage.

2

We convert & enrich

Layout-aware conversion, AI Vision for scans, plus summaries, topics, entities, and embeddings.

3

Use it anywhere

Read it in the app, export RAG-ready JSONL, query it, or pull it through the API or MCP server.

Built for RAG & agents

Designed to keep your models grounded

Every conversion is shaped for retrieval — not just readable, but structured so your chunkers, vector stores, and agents get clean, citable context.

  • Predictable chunk boundaries and explicit headings keep retrieval grounded
  • Export documents as RAG-ready JSONL — drop straight into a vector store
  • Per-document metadata (summary, topics, entities) for better provenance
  • Classify-and-route auto-extraction stores structured fields on convert

 "ordinal":0,
 "text":"# Master Services Agreement\n...",

   "topics":["liability","termination"]}}
For developers

API-first, with an MCP server for your AI tools

REST API

Push files, track jobs, fetch Markdown, run extraction, and export RAG packages — all with typed, documented endpoints and API keys.

MCP server

Connect LLMtoMD to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor so your assistant can convert and retrieve documents inside the chat.

Watched sources & webhooks

Point a source at a storage prefix and new files convert automatically — perfect for ETL jobs and ingestion pipelines.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does LLMtoMD do?+

It converts documents of almost any type — PDFs, Office files, images, audio, and web pages — into clean, structured Markdown that's optimized for large language models, RAG pipelines, and AI agents.

How is this different from a plain PDF-to-text tool?+

Beyond conversion, LLMtoMD preserves structure (headings, tables, lists), reads scans with AI Vision, and adds an AI layer: semantic search, document Q&A, structured field extraction, a cross-document knowledge graph, and RAG-ready exports.

Do you store my files?+

Source files are processed to produce your Markdown and then auto-deleted within 24 hours. We never sell your data or use your documents to train third-party models. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Is there an API?+

Yes. Every capability is available through a documented REST API with API keys, plus an MCP server so assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can convert and retrieve documents directly.

What are credits?+

Standard conversions run against your monthly plan allowance. Credits meter premium AI operations — AI Vision, audio transcription, and semantic analysis — so you only pay for the heavy lifting when you use it.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. Paid plans are month-to-month (or annual) and you can cancel at any time from your billing settings. See our Refund Policy for details.
