## What it is
A fast Rust library that converts Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, CSV, and PDF documents into clean GitHub-Flavored Markdown, with bindings for Node.js, Python, and the browser via WebAssembly. It normalizes all formats through a single document model and serializer, producing LLM-ready Markdown in single-digit milliseconds without ML models or external services.

## Use cases
- convert docx files to markdown
- parse pdf documents into clean markdown for LLMs
- convert powerpoint and excel files to markdown
- batch convert office documents to github-flavored markdown
- run document conversion in the browser without uploading files
- convert documents to markdown from node.js or python
- prepare documents for RAG pipelines
- convert csv and epub files to markdown

## When to choose
- you need fast, local, dependency-free conversion of office documents or text-based PDFs to Markdown
- you want one consistent Markdown output across many input formats
- you need bindings across Rust, Node.js, Python, CLI, and the browser
- you're feeding documents into LLM or RAG workflows

## When to avoid
- you need OCR for scanned PDFs (use Firecrawl Parse or another OCR tool instead)
- you need pixel-perfect fidelity to complex document layouts rather than clean Markdown
- you need conversion to formats other than Markdown

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: parser, pdf, csv, markdown, cli, ocr
- domain: files, pdf, developer-tools
- platform: rust, python, wasm, cli, browser, cross-platform
