Can I use this to build a knowledge base?

Yes — converting articles to clean Markdown is exactly the ingestion step most RAG and personal KB pipelines need before chunking.

What about images in the article?

Images are kept as Markdown image references so you can pull them down separately if needed.

A free sign-in unlocks 50 pages per month; no credit card required.

How is this different from copy-pasting or a plain text extractor?

Plain extraction dumps a flat wall of text — columns merge, tables scramble and headings vanish. Marklune is layout-aware: it rebuilds the document as structured Markdown, so headings, lists and tables survive intact and your LLM gets clean, chunkable input.

Does Marklune handle scanned or image-only PDFs?

Yes. Scanned documents and embedded images are read with built-in OCR in over 100 languages, then converted to Markdown just like native text PDFs.

Will tables and formatting really be preserved?

Tables become clean GitHub-flavored Markdown tables, cell for cell. Headings map to H1–H6, and lists, blockquotes and code blocks are kept — so structure-dependent chunking and retrieval just work.

Is my data private and secure?

Files are processed in-memory and deleted within minutes — we never use your documents to train models. Marklune is SOC 2-ready with encryption in transit and at rest.

What can I export, and is there an API?

Export Markdown, structured JSON or HTML. Every paid plan includes a REST API with Python and Node SDKs, webhooks and batch processing for converting thousands of PDFs at once.

Is there a free plan?

Yes — convert PDFs and documents free in your browser, no credit card. Higher limits, batch conversion and an API are available for heavier use.
