Question 1

Is Markdownly Anything free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HTML, JSON, TXT and CSV export are free and unlimited with no login. MD, DOCX, PDF and EPUB can be tried once per format per browser session (watermarked). For unlimited watermark-free exports there is a €2.99 24-hour Day-Pass or a €29 one-time Founder's Edition.

Question 2

Which file formats can it convert?

Accepted Answer

Markdownly Anything converts bidirectionally between Markdown and HTML, JSON, TXT, DOCX, PDF, EPUB, MDX, RTF, ODT and LaTeX, and additionally imports PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xlsx) and CSV files, any public web page by URL, and Google Docs via a public share link.

Question 3

Do I need to upload my files?

Accepted Answer

No. Standard conversions run client-side in your browser with IndexedDB persistence — files are not uploaded to a server. Only web page import, Google Docs import and Whisper Cloud voice transcription are processed server-side.

Question 4

Can I import a web page or a Google Doc?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste any publicly accessible web page URL or a Google Docs share link set to 'Anyone with the link', and Markdownly converts it to Markdown and any output format. Login-walled, paywalled or JavaScript-only (SPA) pages are not supported.

Question 5

What does the Founder's Edition include?

Accepted Answer

A one-time €29 purchase (no subscription, no recurring price) giving one-time access to all current and future Pro features — today and going forward. Included now: unlimited watermark-free exports, the Pro export formats (.mdx, .rtf, .odt, .tex), MD→PDF, and Whisper Cloud voice transcription. Planned for Q3 2026 (opt-in): cloud sync (Drive, OneDrive, Box, S3) and GitHub integration. Plus a 50% Founder discount on the optional AI Pro add-on. A regular Pro subscription starts in Q3 2026 at €9/month — Founders are exempt from it.

Question 6

Does voice dictation work in every browser?

Accepted Answer

Free Web Speech dictation runs fully locally in 12 languages in browsers that support the Speech Recognition API. The Founder Edition adds Whisper Cloud (OpenAI Whisper) for higher accuracy and for browsers without Web Speech support such as Microsoft Edge.

Question 7

Which languages does Markdownly Anything support?

Accepted Answer

The interface is available in 12 languages: German, English, Chinese, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Japanese and Arabic (with full right-to-left layout). Voice dictation covers the same 12 languages. The conversion itself is language-agnostic — it handles Markdown and documents in any language or script, because all text is processed as Unicode.

Question 8

Do I need an account to use the editor?

Accepted Answer

No. The Markdown editor is free and works without signing in — it runs in your browser with live preview, and your text stays on your device. The saved-files library also runs locally in your browser without an account; only the planned cloud sync (Q3 2026) would need a signed-in account.

Question 9

Is Markdownly Anything a Pandoc alternative?

Accepted Answer

A simpler alternative to Pandoc when you want quick, private, bidirectional conversions without a command line — Markdownly Anything runs in your browser with a visual editor, no installation, no Python, no CLI. Your documents stay on your device.

Question 10

Is Markdownly Anything a MarkItDown alternative?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with a different focus. MarkItDown converts files to Markdown one-way and runs as a Python/CLI tool; Markdownly Anything is bidirectional (Markdown to and from DOCX, PDF, EPUB and more, in both directions) and runs in the browser with a visual interface — no Python, no command line. Choose Markdownly Anything when you need round-trip conversion and a no-install interface.

Question 11

How is it different from online file converters?

Accepted Answer

Your documents stay on your device. Online converters — and LLM or OCR conversion services — upload your file to a server; Markdownly Anything converts uploaded files entirely in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere. Only optional features that need a server — web page import, Google Docs import and Whisper Cloud voice — fetch or process server-side, and that is always made clear. Choose Markdownly Anything when your documents are private or confidential.

Question 12

Who is Markdownly Anything for?

Accepted Answer

For authors, creators, coaches, researchers and anyone who wants to move documents between Markdown, DOCX, PDF, EPUB, RTF and LaTeX without a terminal, Python or Pandoc — simple, private, in the browser.

Question 13

Are there formats or features it doesn't handle well yet?

Accepted Answer

Yes — footnotes, complex tables and scanned (image-only) PDFs are not fully supported yet. Most documents convert cleanly with headings, bold, italic, lists and links preserved; these specific cases are on the roadmap.
