About MarkdownForge
We build fast, privacy-respecting tools that turn messy documents into clean, portable Markdown — without ever touching a server.
Our mission
Markdown has become the lingua franca of technical writing, developer documentation, note-taking, and static sites. Yet getting content into Markdown often means pasting sensitive documents into opaque online tools that upload your files to unknown servers. MarkdownForge exists to fix that: every conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your data stays yours.
Our expertise
We specialise in document parsing and data formatting. Our converters are built on the most trusted open-source libraries in the ecosystem — Turndown for HTML, Mammoth for Word documents, SheetJS for spreadsheets, PapaParse for delimited data, pdf.js for PDFs, and more. We combine them with careful, standards-aware conversion logic to produce Markdown that is clean, predictable, and portable across editors and platforms.
Why client-side?
- Privacy: Confidential contracts, financial spreadsheets, and research notebooks never leave your device.
- Speed: No upload/download round-trip — conversions are near-instant, and heavy work runs in Web Workers.
- Reliability: The tool works offline and doesn’t depend on server uptime or usage quotas.
Open by design
Our core conversion engine is modular and available as an NPM package, and the converter can be embedded on any site via a lightweight iframe widget. See the Developer Portal to build with it, or read our guides to get the most out of Markdown.
