Add to Chrome Convert on web
v2.0

The web app, REST API and hosted MCP

  • New web app: convert PDFs to Markdown right in the browser, free and anonymously, with nothing to install.
  • A REST API and a hosted MCP endpoint, so developers and AI agents can convert programmatically.
  • The web app brings built-in OCR, real Markdown tables and formulas to the browser, across many languages.
  • A redesigned interface and brand.
  • An expanded library: answer-style guides, converter comparisons and a glossary.
v1.2

A second conversion engine

  • Added MinerU as a second engine, robust on dense, multi-column and formula-heavy pages.
  • Until then conversion ran on Docling only; the right engine can now be used for the document.
v1.0

The Chrome extension

  • First public release: a Chrome extension that converts any PDF to clean Markdown, powered by the Docling engine.
  • Built-in OCR for scanned and image-only PDFs across many languages.
  • A live Markdown preview, with copy and download.
  • Convert from a file, drag-and-drop, or a PDF link.

New releases are added here as they ship.
