Turn almost any file into clean Markdown โ€” right on your iPhone and iPad, with every conversion running offline. AnyMarkdown converts documents, web pages, and images into well-structured Markdown, then gives you a powerful editor to polish and share the result. Every conversion happens on your device: your files are never uploaded to our servers or to any third party. CONVERT ALMOST ANYTHING โ€ข PDF โ€” text extraction with smart headings, plus OCR for scanned pages โ€ข Word (docx), EPUB, HTML, RTF โ€ข Excel (xlsx) and CSV โ€” turned into Markdown tables โ€ข PowerPoint (pptx) โ€” slides become headings and bullets โ€ข Images and screenshots โ€” text and tables via OCR โ€ข Jupyter notebooks, JSON, XML, and source code files โ€ข Web pages โ€” paste a link and get a clean, readable article BUILT FOR MARKDOWN โ€ข Full syntax highlighting as you type โ€ข Smart lists, task checkboxes, auto-pairing, and a dedicated keyboard toolbar โ€ข Visual table editor โ€” no more counting pipes by hand โ€ข Document outline for quick navigation โ€ข Find & replace โ€ข Live preview with adjustable themes ORGANIZE & SHARE โ€ข Library with full-text search, pinning, and grouping โ€ข iCloud sync keeps your library identical on iPhone and iPad, with an offline copy always kept on device โ€ข Send files or links from any app via the share sheet โ€ข Export as Markdown, HTML, or PDF โ€ข Word count that handles Chinese, Japanese, and Korean correctly PRIVATE BY DESIGN All conversion and OCR run locally on your device โ€” nothing is uploaded for processing.
