About this tool
Copying and pasting from a PDF into Notion drags along mid-sentence line breaks, stray page numbers and repeated headers. The result is awkward to read and worse to search.
Notion imports Markdown and turns headings into properly nested blocks, so the document ends up navigable instead of a pasted wall of text.
Redaction is off here, since you are usually filing the document for yourself. Turn it on with one click if you are going to share the note or run it through a cloud AI.

Questions
- Does it keep the PDF's images?
- No: the output is text. For pages as images use the "PDF to image" tool.
- What if the PDF is scanned?
- Run the local OCR first: it recognizes the text on your machine and produces the same structured Markdown.
