Our Story · Est. 2024

We make PDFs
make sense.

Every messy table, scribbled note, and oddly-formatted invoice — turned into clean, structured Markdown by AI that actually reads.

01 — The Problem

Locked in PDFs, going nowhere.

The world runs on PDFs — invoices, research papers, scanned forms, financial reports. But that data is trapped. Complex tables become gibberish on copy-paste. Handwritten notes are invisible to traditional tools. Charts get lost entirely.

ProPDF was built to break that lock. We started with the hardest documents — the ones nothing else could handle — and worked outward.

02 — The Tech

AI that reads, not guesses.

Our pipeline combines a vision-first foundation model with a structure-aware decoder. It doesn't just OCR characters — it understands layout: which cell belongs to which header, where a footnote anchors, when a paragraph wraps a figure.

The result feels less like running a tool, and more like handing a document to a careful colleague.

03 — Always Improving

Better every day.

Every conversion sharpens our models. Every edge case we encounter — a five-language form, a hand-drawn architectural diagram, a 1980s scanned receipt — becomes part of how we get better.

New formats, faster processing, smarter extraction. We ship weekly, and the version of ProPDF you use next month will outperform today's.

04 — The Output

Clean Markdown, every time.

Output isn't an afterthought — it's the product. You get proper headings, real tables, fenced code blocks, ordered lists, and inline formatting that actually round-trips.

Drop it into a docs site, a notebook, an LLM context window, or your CMS. It just works.

05 — Privacy

Your documents, your business.

Your files stay on our servers — never shared with third parties, never used to train external models. Everything auto-deletes after 30 days. We use magic-link auth so there's no password to leak.

Privacy isn't a feature. It's the default.

06 — The Promise

Upload. Done.

No accounts to set up for your first conversion. No complex onboarding. No subscription gates on basic features.

ProPDF is the shortest path from PDF to usable text. We obsess over that path so you don't have to.
