Convert a batch of documents to Markdown
Keep a large queue manageable without losing sight of each result. DocuPrune processes your documents locally and keeps individual review and download actions available alongside batch export.
How to do it
Start with a small representative batch
Choose files or a folder, then convert. Try a document, a spreadsheet and a scan separately before processing an important collection. Large scans use more memory than short text files, especially on phones.
Find the result you need
For larger queues, use file search and the status filter. Select a completed file to read its Markdown in the preview. A successful file does not mean every file in the batch succeeded.
Review before export
Check headings, tables and any sensitive text. Use Review for editing and selective export. Download a single file from its row, or copy the text without downloading.
Choose separate files or a knowledge pack
Download ZIP keeps completed outputs together. A knowledge pack adds an index linking to included documents and can include offline search. Inspect the final list of included files and any partial results.
A worked example
Illustrative folder organization after reviewing three synthetic documents; filenames and content depend on your input.
What goes in
Project brief.docx Quarterly figures.xlsx Meeting notes.txt
What comes out
Project brief.md Quarterly figures.md Meeting notes.md
Try a sample first to see the conversion and review controls without using a private document.
What it will not do
- A failed or partial file needs its own review; a ZIP is not proof of a complete batch.
- Browser memory and available storage limit the size of a batch. Start smaller on a phone.
- Folder picking depends on browser capabilities. Choosing multiple files remains an alternative.
Questions
- Can I download only one result?
- Yes. Completed rows have a download action, and the selected preview has a download button.
- Can I retry a failed file?
- Use the retry action when available, after checking the error and file type. Password-protected files may need a password; unsupported or damaged inputs will still need attention.
Where your file goes
Nowhere. Reading, converting, cleaning and counting all happen in this browser tab, on your own device. The file, its name and its text are never uploaded to a server, and there is no account to create.
One thing does use the network, and it is worth being precise about: reading a scanned page needs an OCR model, which downloads from this site the first time you convert an image or a scan. That is a program arriving on your device, not your document leaving it. After it has been fetched once, that conversion works offline.
