Frequently asked questions
Can I turn AI-generated Markdown into a scanned PDF?
Yes. Save the Markdown text as a .md file and select it here. If an AI response wraps the entire document in a code block, remove the outer triple backticks before saving so it renders as a document.
Will Markdown headings, tables and code blocks keep their formatting?
Headings, lists, tables and fenced code blocks render with a GitHub-style layout before scanning. The output PDF contains images of the formatted content; keep the Markdown file for later editing.
How should I prepare long documents, formulas or diagrams?
Direct Markdown import creates one rendered page. For longer documents or custom page breaks, export a PDF from your Markdown editor first. Use an editor that renders your formulas and diagrams, check the exported PDF, then select it here to add scan effects.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Standard scanning and bulk scanning both run locally in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
Is it free, and is there a limit?
Standard scanning is free and needs no signup. Free scans have a fixed daily limit; Pro lifts it and also unlocks bulk scanning, an ad-free workspace and API access.
