# Convert to stdout
uvx --from "markitdown[all]" markitdown input.pdf

# Save to file
uvx --from "markitdown[all]" markitdown input.pdf -o output.md
uvx --from "markitdown[all]" markitdown input.docx > output.md

# From stdin
cat input.pdf | uvx --from "markitdown[all]" markitdown

Supported Formats

Web/Data: HTML, CSV, JSON, XML
Media: Images (EXIF + OCR), Audio (EXIF + transcription)
Other: ZIP (iterates contents), YouTube URLs, EPub

Options

-o OUTPUT      # Output file
-x EXTENSION   # Hint file extension (for stdin)
-m MIME_TYPE   # Hint MIME type
-c CHARSET     # Hint charset (e.g., UTF-8)
-d             # Use Azure Document Intelligence
-e ENDPOINT    # Document Intelligence endpoint

Examples

# Convert Word document
uvx --from "markitdown[all]" markitdown report.docx -o report.md

# Convert Excel spreadsheet
uvx --from "markitdown[all]" markitdown data.xlsx > data.md

# Convert PowerPoint presentation
uvx --from "markitdown[all]" markitdown slides.pptx -o slides.md

# Convert with file type hint (for stdin)
cat document | uvx --from "markitdown[all]" markitdown -x .pdf > output.md

# Use Azure Document Intelligence for better PDF extraction
uvx --from "markitdown[all]" markitdown scan.pdf -d -e "https://your-resource.cognitiveservices.azure.com/"

Notes

Output preserves document structure: headings, tables, lists, links
First run caches dependencies; subsequent runs are faster
For complex PDFs with poor extraction, use -d with Azure Document Intelligence
If automatic charset detection picks the wrong encoding for a text file, pass -c UTF-8 (or the known charset)
