Questions before you start

Practical answers before you convert.

Current production facts and explicit quality boundaries.

Is Markovo's file to Markdown converter free?

Yes. Guests can convert and review one supported file queue per UTC day before signing in, up to 5 estimated Credits. Each file uses the Free account boundary of 25 MB and 25 source units. Download requires an account and settles completed work once against account Credits. Free accounts receive 25 Credits monthly, one API key, and five daily files.

Which file types can the File to Markdown Converter handle?

Digital PDF is available to guests. Sign in covers DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, CSV, text, HTML, images, EPUB, Notion exports, public URLs, audio, and video audio tracks. Guests can preview supported inputs within the 5-Credit limit; sign in and settle with account Credits to download. XLS and ODS are not accepted yet.

What does a Markovo Markdown bundle include?

A completed bundle can include output.md, extracted assets, source_map.json, quality_report.json, metadata, and a checksummed manifest. The exact files depend on the input and conversion route.

Can I convert files to Markdown through an API, CLI, or MCP server?

Yes. Free, Starter, and Pro use one account, Credit balance, capability registry, history, ownership checks, and Bundle across Web, API, CLI, and MCP.

Does the converter support OCR and formulas?

OCR for image-heavy inputs and formula-rich PDFs runs through the standard pipeline and requires review against the source. Digital PDF and ordinary structured text remain the strongest current routes.

How long does Markovo keep uploaded files and results?

Sources are removed after a terminal result. Guest and Free results remain for one hour, Starter for seven days, and Pro for 30 days; users may delete completed jobs sooner. Downloads remain owner-protected.

Where can I learn about PDF to Markdown conversion?

Use the dedicated PDF to Markdown Converter page for PDF-specific handling, source mapping, OCR, formulas, common tables, and API examples.
