Privacy-first

Your PDF is processed in memory and not stored on our servers after the request completes.

Built for text PDFs

Optimized for documents with selectable text — reports, exports, ebooks, and technical docs.

Limits & Supported PDFs

PDF a MD works best with text-based PDFs — files where you can select and copy text in a PDF reader.

Supported

  • PDFs with selectable text
  • Documents up to 10MB and 50 pages
  • Standard, unencrypted PDF files

Not supported (MVP)

  • Scanned documents and image-only PDFs
  • Password-protected or encrypted PDFs
  • OCR (may be considered later)

If upload fails, check the error message — it usually means the file exceeds limits or is a scanned PDF.
