What problem does it solve?

Manually converting PDFs, Office documents, web pages, and piped content into editable Markdown is time-consuming and error-prone. This Skill eliminates that hassle by automating format conversion for dozens of common file types and input sources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-format Support: Convert PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, CSV, archives, and more to Markdown, with optional OCR and Azure Document Intelligence for scanned files.
  • Flexible Input Handling: Process local files, fetchable URLs, and piped stdin content, with type hints for ambiguous inputs.
  • Batch Processing: Convert entire folders of files with simple shell commands. For example, turn a directory of quarterly reports in PDF and DOCX format into Markdown for easy editing and sharing.

Quick Start

Use the markitdown-cli skill to convert your 'quarterly_report.pdf' file to Markdown and save it as 'quarterly_report.md'.
