Make Everything to Markdown

Klartext: A Free, Private Tool to Convert PDFs and Scans to Markdown

I built Klartext to let you convert PDFs, scans, and photos into Markdown without sending your data to OpenAI, Google, or other services. Everything runs on a single server, ensuring your documents stay private and are automatically deleted after 24 hours. The tool preserves numbers, names, and tables while supporting various formats like Excel and PowerPoint, making your files searchable and editable.

Nothing leaves the server. No content is sent to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any other service.

More from this day
