Model:
+ GPT-5, Claude, Gemini
Drop an image, screenshot, or scan and get back clean Markdown — headings stay headings, tables stay tables, lists stay lists. Powered by our self-hosted Unlimited-OCR model, tuned for layout-aware document parsing rather than a flat text dump. Best for structured pages: papers, invoices, forms, reports.

Drop an image to convert to Markdown

PNG, JPG, WebP up to 10MB — one page per image

What it's good for

    

        

            
            
Tables & forms

            
Invoices, spec sheets, and reports come back as real Markdown tables instead of a jumbled wall of numbers — paste straight into a doc or a RAG pipeline.

        

        

            
            
Papers & articles

            
Headings, sections, and lists keep their structure, so a scanned report becomes editable Markdown you can drop into a docs site or feed to an LLM.

        

        

            
            
Dense & multilingual

            
The model is built for dense, complex pages and handles Chinese, English, and more — useful where a plain OCR engine garbles tight layouts.

AI OCR to Markdown — FAQ

                

                    
                    

                        

                            
                        

                        

                            
Upload an image, screenshot, or scan and get back clean Markdown — headings, tables, and lists keep their structure instead of collapsing into a flat text dump. It is powered by Unlimited-OCR, a self-hosted 3B model tuned for layout-aware document parsing, so the output is ready to paste into a docs site, a note app, or an LLM pipeline.

                        

                    

                    
                    

                        

                            
                        

                        

                            
Plain OCR (our /ocr/ tool, Tesseract) gives you the raw words in reading order — great for a quick copy-paste, but tables flatten and headings lose their hierarchy. OCR to Markdown understands the page layout and reconstructs it: a table becomes a Markdown pipe-table, a heading stays a heading, a bullet list stays a list. Use plain OCR for speed, this for structure.

                        

                    

                    
                    

                        

                            
                        

                        

                            
Unlimited-OCR (baidu/Unlimited-OCR), an open MIT-licensed 3B model built on DeepSeek-OCR. We run it on our own GPUs — nothing is sent to a third-party API. It is purpose-built for one-shot document parsing rather than single-line text recognition.

                        

                    

                    
                    

                        

                            
                        

                        

                            
Yes — tables come back as proper Markdown pipe-tables, which is the whole point of using this over plain OCR. Very complex nested or multi-column tables flatten more aggressively (a fundamental Markdown limitation), but standard invoices, spec sheets, and report tables convert cleanly.

                        

                    

                    
                    

                        

                            
                        

                        

                            
It is multilingual with particularly strong Chinese and English support, and handles many other scripts. Accuracy is best on clear, high-resolution pages; very low-resolution or heavily stylized text is harder, as with any OCR.

                        

                    

                    
                    

                        

                            
                        

                        

                            
That tool takes a whole PDF and runs IBM Granite-Docling page by page — best when you already have a multi-page PDF. AI OCR to Markdown takes a single image or screenshot and runs the larger Unlimited-OCR model, which is stronger on dense or complex single pages. Use the PDF tool for documents you have as PDFs; use this for screenshots, photos of pages, and individual scans.

                        

                    

                    
                    

                        

                            
                        

                        

                            
AI OCR to Markdown takes one image (PNG / JPG / WebP) at a time — one page per image. For multi-page PDFs, use /document/pdf-to-markdown/ (whole-PDF Markdown) or /ocr/document/ (searchable-PDF / text). If you only have a PDF page, export or screenshot the page and drop it here.

                        

                    

                    
                    

                        

                            
                        

                        

                            
If you do not want Markdown structure — just the raw text in reading order — pick Plain text. The model then runs in straight-OCR mode and returns the words without headings, tables, or list formatting. Markdown is the default because it is what makes AI OCR to Markdown distinct.

                        

                    

                    
                    

                        

                            
                        

                        

                            
It works on phone photos of paper, but clean, flat, well-lit shots convert best. Glare, heavy skew, and shadows hurt accuracy. If a photo comes out poorly, re-shoot it straight-on with even lighting, or scan at 200+ DPI.
