    PDF conversion

    Convert scanned PDFs to Markdown for editing or EPUB for reading.

    PDF Craft analyzes page structure as well as text, including formulas, tables, and multi-column reading order. Compare complex sections with the original before quoting or reusing them.

    EPUB
    EPUB adapts to your reader, with translated-only or bilingual output.
    Markdown
    Markdown gives you text you can edit, quote, and organize.
    Extract text you cannot select or copy
    Upload scanned books, research papers, textbooks, or lecture notes. OCR recognizes the words in page images so you can search the result and reuse passages. Review unclear text against the source scan.
    Markdown for editing, EPUB for reading
    Download Markdown to edit text, collect quotations, and build notes. Choose EPUB to read with adjustable text in your ebook reader. Both recover content and structure rather than reproduce the PDF page for page.
    Convert and download online
    After uploading, choose your output in the task settings and submit the conversion. Download the finished file in your browser and open it in your own editor or reader. No desktop app is required.
    Recover formulas, tables, and reading order
    PDF Craft analyzes page structure as well as text, including formulas, tables, and multi-column reading order. Compare complex sections with the original before quoting or reusing them.

    Translate PDF and EPUB, with bilingual EPUB output

    Choose a target language and add terminology or name preferences. PDFs can produce PDF, EPUB or Markdown; EPUBs can produce translated-only or bilingual editions.

    Keep the context
    Translation considers nearby text to help carry the meaning from one passage to the next.
    Specify names and terms
    Provide preferred translations for technical terms, names, and expressions before you begin.
    Read both languages
    Bilingual EPUB places the translation after the original passage, making it easier to check important details.
    Keep the book together
    Chapters, navigation, images, and reading structure are preserved where possible, with checks for structural errors.

    Document to knowledge

    Connect the knowledge in your documents.

    In the desktop app, index PDFs and EPUBs for source-aware full-text search. The open-source Wiki Graph CLI can further extract public entities, relationships, and evidence.

    Explore Wiki Graph
    Prepare readable text
    Prepare PDF and EPUB text in PDF Craft. Other source formats can be converted to plain text with external tools before using wg; review complex extraction results against the original.
    Build the index
    In PDF Craft desktop, create a .wikg text index for a PDF or EPUB. The standalone wg CLI can also extract public entities, relationships, and evidence from prepared text.
    Explore and check
    Search across indexed documents and jump back to the source in PDF Craft. Use the CLI to explore entities and the passages supporting their relationships.

    Before you begin

    EPUB or Markdown: which should I choose?

    Choose EPUB for reading a book with adjustable text. Choose Markdown for editing, document processing or preparing text for a knowledge base. Neither should be treated as an exact visual copy of the PDF.

    How should I check the result?

    Compare headings, paragraph order and chapter boundaries with the PDF. For papers, inspect both columns, formulas, tables and footnotes. Correct recognition errors before reusing the text.

    What affects OCR quality?

    Blurred scans, skewed pages, small print and complex layouts can make recognition harder. Keep the original PDF so you can verify uncertain text; successful processing does not guarantee error-free output.

    How much does conversion cost, and how long does it take?

    Consult the pricing page for current charges. Processing time varies with the document and service workload; follow the task status rather than assuming a fixed completion time.

    What does bilingual output look like?

    In bilingual EPUB, the translation follows each original text block. It is not a two-column PDF. Choose translated-only output if you prefer a single-language edition.
