In a world where AI-driven content generation is on the rise, structured data and clean file formats are more essential than ever. That’s why I built File2MD, a website that converts common file types into Markdown format quickly and easily. You can check it out at file2md.com.

Why File2MD?

As more developers, writers, and creators rely on AI tools, having content in a Markdown-friendly format has become increasingly valuable. However, converting files like PDFs, Word documents, and spreadsheets to Markdown often involves tedious manual work. File2MD eliminates that friction.

Supported File Types

File2MD supports converting the following file types into clean, ready-to-use Markdown:

• PDF
• Word / DOC / DOCX
• Excel / XLS / XLSX
• PowerPoint / PPT / PPTX
• JSON
• XML
• CSV
• Plain Text

How It Works

1. Upload Your File: Simply upload your file at file2md.com.
2. Convert Instantly: File2MD processes your file and generates clean Markdown output.
3. Copy & Use: Copy the generated Markdown text and use it wherever you need.

Developers

What’s Next?

I’m already exploring additional file types, deeper customization options, and integrations with popular tools like Notion, Obsidian, and GitHub.
