FAQ

Is this OCR?

No. MarkItDown extracts text exposed by the file parser. Use AI Vision for OCR on scans or photos.

Can I select PDF pages?

This source is not PDF, so page_range is not honoured.

Will PowerPoint animations appear?

No. Slide text is extracted; animations, transitions, notes, and media playback are omitted.

Are tables preserved?

Tables are emitted as Markdown where the source parser exposes table structure clearly.

What about images?

Images may be omitted or referenced; Markdown output focuses on readable text and structure.

Everything you need

Browser-first privacy

CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, XLSX, and table conversions run locally when the source and target formats support it.

Warnings, not surprises

Formula drops, flattened arrays, sheet selection, and layout changes are surfaced as conversion warnings.

Batch and zip

Queue multiple files, download individual results, or package them into a zip for handoff.

API, CLI, MCP

Convert from browsers, scripts, automations, and AI assistants with the same warnings and outputs.

Team workspaces

Shared history, API keys, limits, and retention settings keep production conversions controlled.

Retention you control

Browser files never upload; server inputs auto-delete within 24 hours and outputs follow workspace retention.
