Online converters are great for quick, one-off tasks. Pandoc is powerful but requires technical setup. If you need batch processing, larger files, offline access, text recognition for scanned documents, or prefer to keep files on your machine, Office2MD fills that gap.

TEXT RECOGNITION

Turn Scans and Images into Text

Office2MD reads scanned PDFs and image files like PNG and JPG and turns them into Markdown text. The recognition runs entirely on your machine. No cloud OCR, no API keys, no uploads. Even your scanned contracts and screenshots stay private.

IMAGE HANDLING

Decide What Happens to Images

When a document or PDF has images, you choose: save them to a folder next to your Markdown, embed them in the file, or leave them out. You set the default in Settings, and it applies to every conversion.
