A Rust-based tool that converts documents, data files, web pages, and media into Markdown, usable both as a CLI and a library. It supports a wide range of formats including PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, EPUB, Jupyter notebooks, and URLs.

Use cases

• convert pdf to markdown
• convert docx to markdown
• extract text from pdf for llm
• convert html page to markdown
• convert excel spreadsheet to markdown table
• batch convert documents to markdown
• extract content from epub

When to choose

• you need fast, dependency-light document-to-markdown conversion without OCR or model calls
• you want a single CLI handling many formats including PDF, Office files, and URLs
• you need markdown output for feeding documents into LLM pipelines

When to avoid

• you need OCR for scanned PDFs with no text layer
• you need pixel-perfect layout or formatting preservation rather than markdown
• you need a GUI-based conversion workflow
