PDF to clean, LLM-ready Markdown for humans & AI agents

Drop a PDF and get clean, LLM-ready Markdown: real tables, formulas as LaTeX, and OCR, with reading order intact. The same engine is a hosted REST API and an MCP endpoint, so AI agents and RAG pipelines convert PDFs as a built-in tool. It runs its own engines (MinerU + Docling), not an LLM wrapper. Free to start in the browser; also a Chrome extension and a ChatGPT Custom GPT.
Thanks for sharing! Quick question: how well does it handle complex PDFs with mixed tables, formulas, and multi-column layouts?
@anton_ius Thanks, that means a lot! 🙏
Honestly, that's the part we obsessed over. Tables go through a dedicated model, so merged cells and weird headers stay as real tables, not mush. Formulas come out as LaTeX, not screenshots. And two-column papers get read in the right order, not straight across the page.
I'll be real with you though. The nightmare case is a dense page with a formula stuck inside a table cell. That's hard for everyone. So we ship two engines and you can switch with one click. If one chokes on a doc, the other usually nails it.
Got a gnarly PDF lying around? Throw it at us. I'd love to see how it holds up.
Congrats ! Is it OCR based? does it handle nestings (sub titles ..)?
@racine_g So, OCR: yes, but only when it's actually needed. If the PDF already has a text layer, we just read it. Clean and fast. OCR only kicks in on scanned pages. There's also a force-OCR toggle for those PDFs with a broken text layer. Works for English and Russian out of the box.
And yes, nesting is handled. Sub-titles keep their levels, so H1, H2, H3 all map to proper Markdown. Nested lists keep their indentation too. The whole outline survives instead of going flat.
Really appreciate you digging in. 🔥
@dmitry_petrakov just tried it, it works !
Speed Reader
Amazing tool!
@khlebobul Thanks Gleb, appreciate it 🙏 If you've got a gnarly PDF lying around, give it a spin and tell me where it trips up, that's the feedback I'm really after.
