MarkItDown is a lightweight Python utility for converting a wide range of file types into Markdown for use with large language models and related text analysis pipelines. It preserves important document structure and content in Markdown (headings, lists, tables, links, etc.), producing output that is token-efficient and suitable for analysis rather than high-fidelity human viewing. Supported inputs include PDFs, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, images (with EXIF data and OCR), audio metadata, HTML, text formats (CSV, JSON, XML), ZIP archives, YouTube URLs, EPubs, and more, and it requires Python 3.10 or higher.
