Frequently Asked Questions

How are headings identified?
The algorithm calculates median font size across each page and marks text larger than the baseline as H1, H2, or H3 headings.
Can I convert multi-page documents?
Yes! FolderBit extracts text across all pages and can insert `--- Page N ---` separator tags to maintain document structure.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
For scanned documents that contain only images, run FolderBit's free OCR tool first to generate a text layer before converting to Markdown.
