# MarkItDown

> MarkItDown (microsoft/markitdown) is a lightweight Python utility that converts many file types to Markdown for LLMs and text-analysis pipelines. README positions it near textract, but focused on preserving structure (headings, lists, tables, links) as Markdown for models rather than high-fidelity human publishing.
