What this tool can do today

Line endings are normalized and excess blank lines are collapsed — no OCR, and no structure (headings, lists, tables) is invented that was not already there. Text must be valid UTF-8. Legacy encodings such as Big5 are not decoded; invalid UTF-8 is refused with an error. Always review the output before relying on it.

File retention

Uploaded originals and conversion results are temporary. They are not kept as a permanent document library.

  • Uploaded originals are used only to produce your Markdown result and are deleted as soon as processing ends, or within 60 minutes at the latest.
  • Conversion results and job records are available for up to 60 minutes, then expire and are automatically removed from the active database.
  • We do not keep a permanent document library. Limited provider-managed infrastructure snapshots may retain residual copies for up to 5 days before automatic expiry.
  • Uploaded originals are held in temporary local storage only while the job is processed. Recurring cleanup removes any expired temporary upload left by an interruption.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to my file after upload?

It is kept in temporary storage only while your job is processed, deleted immediately after processing ends, and never stored permanently. See our privacy page for the full retention policy.

What output will I get?

Clean, normalized Markdown with your original text preserved, plus a metadata block showing estimated original tokens, estimated output tokens, and the signed token change.

Do you convert other file types?

Yes. PDF, Word (.docx), OpenDocument Text (.odt), PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xlsx), HTML, and CSV/TSV are all supported on the document converter. This page focuses on plain text; use the document converter for anything else.
