Turn PDFs—even scanned & vertical Japanese—into clean Markdown in the right reading order. Batch-convert Word, Excel & CSV too. Offline, one-time purchase, no tracking. to→md is a macOS tool that quickly converts PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, and text files into Markdown. Just drag and drop your files onto the window. Batch conversion of multiple files is supported. ■ Key features • Wide format support Convert PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), CSV, and text to Markdown. Excel becomes tables, and Word keeps its heading and table structure. • Automatic OCR for scanned PDFs Even scanned documents without embedded text are recognized automatically using Apple's built-in text recognition. Vertical Japanese text and multi-column layouts are read in the correct order. • Preserves figures and charts Figures, charts, and photos that OCR often loses are exported as images and embedded in the Markdown — so references like "point A in the figure" still make sense. • Simple to use No complicated setup. Drop your files and wait; the converted files are organized into a folder automatically. Choose to save next to the original file or into a fixed folder. • Fully offline and private All conversion happens on your Mac. The contents of your files are never sent over the internet, and no account is required. ■ Great for • Turning study materials or documents into Markdown for use with AI • Working with paper or scanned documents as text • Managing the contents of PDFs and Office files as lightweight, easy-to-handle Markdown Built on Apple's native technologies (PDFKit and Vision).

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Improved the display shown during conversion: • Fixed flickering of the indicator shown while performing OCR on scanned PDFs. • Refined the OCR animation so it now follows the conversion progress, making it easier to read.
