MarkItDown is a utility for converting various files to Markdown (e.g., for indexing, text analysis, etc).
|
|
It supports:
|
|
- PDF
|
|
- PowerPoint
|
|
- Word
|
|
- Excel
|
|
- Images (EXIF metadata and OCR)
|
|
- Audio (EXIF metadata and speech transcription)
|
|
- HTML
|
|
- Text-based formats (CSV, JSON, XML)
|
|
- ZIP files (iterates over contents)
|
|
|
|
To install MarkItDown, use pip: `pip install markitdown`. Alternatively, you can install it from the source: `pip install -e .`
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Command-Line
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
markitdown path-to-file.pdf > document.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use `-o` to specify the output file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
markitdown path-to-file.pdf -o document.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also pipe content:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat path-to-file.pdf | markitdown
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Python API
|
|
|
|
Basic usage in Python:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from markitdown import MarkItDown
|
|
|
|
md = MarkItDown()
|
|
result = md.convert("test.xlsx")
|
|
print(result.text_content)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use Large Language Models for image descriptions, provide `llm_client` and `llm_model`:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from markitdown import MarkItDown
|
|
from openai import OpenAI
|
|
|
|
client = OpenAI()
|
|
md = MarkItDown(llm_client=client, llm_model="gpt-4o")
|
|
result = md.convert("example.jpg")
|
|
print(result.text_content)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Docker
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker build -t markitdown:latest .
|
|
docker run --rm -i markitdown:latest < ~/your-file.pdf > output.md
|
|
```

<summary>Batch Processing Multiple Files</summary>
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to convert multiple files to markdown format in a single run. The script processes all supported files in a directory and creates corresponding markdown files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python convert.py
|
|
from markitdown import MarkItDown
|
|
from openai import OpenAI
|
|
import os
|
|
client = OpenAI(api_key="your-api-key-here")
|
|
md = MarkItDown(llm_client=client, llm_model="gpt-4o-2024-11-20")
|
|
supported_extensions = ('.pptx', '.docx', '.pdf', '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png')
|
|
files_to_convert = [f for f in os.listdir('.') if f.lower().endswith(supported_extensions)]
|
|
for file in files_to_convert:
|
|
print(f"\nConverting {file}...")
|
|
try:
|
|
md_file = os.path.splitext(file)[0] + '.md'
|
|
result = md.convert(file)
|
|
with open(md_file, 'w') as f:
|
|
f.write(result.text_content)
|
|
|
|
print(f"Successfully converted {file} to {md_file}")
|
|
except Exception as e:
|
|
print(f"Error converting {file}: {str(e)}")
|
|
|
|
print("\nAll conversions completed!")
|
|
```
|
|
2. Place the script in the same directory as your files
|
|
3. Install required packages: like openai
|
|
4. Run script ```bash python convert.py ```
|
|
|
|
Note that original files will remain unchanged and new markdown files are created with the same base name.

### Running Tests and Checks
|
|
|
|
- Install `hatch` in your environment and run tests:
|
|
```sh
|
|
pip install hatch # Other ways of installing hatch: https://hatch.pypa.io/dev/install/
|
|
hatch shell
|
|
hatch test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(Alternative) Use the Devcontainer which has all the dependencies installed:
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Reopen the project in Devcontainer and run:
|
|
hatch test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Run pre-commit checks before submitting a PR: `pre-commit run --all-files`
