Microsoft MarkItDown: Convert Files and Office Documents to Markdown (Local  Install Step by Step)

MarkItDown is a lightweight, open-source Python document conversion tool by Microsoft, supporting intelligent conversion of over 20 formats, including PDF, Word, Excel, and PPT, into structured Markdown. Optimized for LLM text analysis scenarios, it’s hailed as the Swiss Army knife of document processing in the AI era!

Developed by Microsoft’s AutoGen team, this open-source gem perfectly addresses three major pain points for developers handling multi-format documents:

  1. Broad Format Compatibility: One-click conversion of common formats like PDF, PPT, Word, Excel, images, and audio.

  2. Strong Structure Preservation: Intelligently recognizes document elements like headings, lists, and tables, outputting LLM-friendly Markdown.

  3. Excellent Extensibility: Supports integration with cloud services like Azure Document Intelligence and OpenAI image description.
