The MarkItDown library is a utility tool for converting various files to Markdown (e.g., for indexing, text analysis, etc.)

It presently supports:

• PDF (.pdf)
• PowerPoint (.pptx)
• Word (.docx)
• Excel (.xlsx)
• Images (EXIF metadata, and OCR)
• Audio (EXIF metadata, and speech transcription)
• HTML (special handling of Wikipedia, etc.)
• Various other text-based formats (csv, json, xml, etc.)

The API is simple:

from markitdown import MarkItDown

markitdown = MarkItDown()
result = markitdown.convert("test.xlsx")
print(result.text_content)
