PDF2MD
Convert your PDFs to markdown With AI OCR
Trieve PDF2MD is an intelligent OCR tool that makes PDF content accessible and ready for AI. Using cutting-edge models like GPT-4o-mini and Gemini-flash-1.5, we convert PDFs into clean, structured Markdown with remarkable precision and cost-efficiency.
Hi!
I'm Nick, lead engineer/CEO of Trieve. As search and RAG infrastructure providers, we were tired of seeing our customers paying $$$$ for OCR when working with documents in our LLM pipeline. The reality is that every PDF needs to become markdown before it hits your vector DB or RAG system.
After trying a bunch of solutions, we found they were either:
- Expensive (looking at you, big cloud providers 👀)
- Inaccurate with complex layouts
- Too slow/unathletic for production use
We saw OmniAI's Tyler Maran's Zerox and were blown away. There are a lot of players and money in chunking. Seeing vision models like GPT-4o-mini cranking out enterprise-grade OCR at 1/10th the cost was wild. We dove in.
We've already processed millions of pages for our own products, so we've decided to make it available as an API. Super simple to integrate - just POST your PDF and get back clean markdown. You can also give it a spin at pdf2md.trieve.ai.
Would love feedback from fellow developers! Happy to jump on a call to help with integration or answer any questions: [email protected]
Cheers,
Nick K
P.S. It's in Rust
