Microsoft's file-to-Markdown conversion tool, useful for data pipelines but not novel.
Summary
MarkItDown, a Microsoft Python utility (requires 3.10+), converts PDF, Office, images (EXIF/OCR), audio (transcription), HTML, YouTube URLs, and EPUB to Markdown for LLM pipelines. It preserves structure (headings, tables) and is token-efficient, but warns about I/O privilege security and supports optional dependencies and third-party plugins.
