A converter that turns PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, EPUB, images, audio, archives, and some online video into Markdown. Markdown is plain text with simple formatting such as headings, lists, tables, and links.

Use it to extract text from PDFs, convert Office files to Markdown, process batches of documents, and access converted content through its command-line or Python interface.

It makes content easier for language models and text-based tools to read and process. It preserves document structure but not the original visual appearance.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00105	$0.00852
Opus 5	$0.00053	$0.00426
Sonnet 5	$0.00021	$0.00170
Haiku 4.5	$0.00011	$0.00085

Measured 11d ago against content hash 6f79fe2387b4, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-10, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

markitdown scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

MarkItDown - konwerter dokumentów do Markdown (PL)

Lightweight utility Microsoftu - zachowuje strukturę (nagłówki, listy, tabele, linki), nie wygląd. Pod LLM, nie pod human.

Instalacja (zrobione 2026-04-21)

python -m pip install --user markitdown markitdown-mcp

Wymaga Python 3.10+ (testowane na 3.14). CLI: python -m markitdown.

Wspierane formaty

PDF (preferuj dla krótkich, standardowych PDF; dla złożonych/tabel - OpenDataLoader PDF)
Office: Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx)
HTML, EPUB, CSV, JSON, XML
Obrazy (EXIF + OCR jeśli zainstalowane [all])
Audio (EXIF + transkrypcja jeśli włączone)
ZIP (iteruje zawartość)
YouTube URL (napisy)

Użycie

CLI (single file)

python -m markitdown input.pdf > output.md
python -m markitdown input.pptx -o output.md

Batch (Obsidian Vault)

for f in "$USERPROFILE/Documents/Obsidian Vault/Konwerter"/*.pdf; do
  python -m markitdown "$f" > "${f%.pdf}.md"
done

Python API

from markitdown import MarkItDown
md = MarkItDown()
result = md.convert("plik.docx")
print(result.text_content)

Kiedy użyć MarkItDown vs OpenDataLoader PDF

Sytuacja	Narzędzie
Word/Excel/PPT	MarkItDown
Prosty PDF, tekst liniowy	MarkItDown (szybsze)
Złożony PDF z tabelami, reading order, papers naukowe	OpenDataLoader PDF (jakość)
Audio/transkrypcja	Whisper (mamy `whisper-asr-pipeline`)
Web page	Defuddle (mamy `defuddle` od Kepano)

Integracja z vault

Output docelowo → Konwerter/ (folder w vault dla source-pdf → MD). Frontmatter: type: source-pdf, tags: [pdf, zrodlo]. Zobacz vault-rules.json → clippings.classification_rules.pdf_source.

Gotcha

markitdown[all] na Python 3.14/3.15 failuje (onnxruntime, youtube-transcript-api konflikt) - użyj zainstalowanego markitdown bez extras
Dla OCR obrazów / pełnego YouTube - Docker albo starszy Python (3.11/3.12)
Nie używaj dla high-fidelity conversion dla human reading - tylko pod LLM

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
