convert-docs

Recursively convert documents (pdf, docx, pptx, xlsx, and more) to Markdown via markitdown, mirroring the source folder structure into a destination folder.

Install

uv tool install convert-docs

Usage

Run with no flags for an interactive prompt (asks for source, then destination):

convert-docs

Or pass flags to skip the prompts:

convert-docs -s ~/Documents/Reports -o ~/Documents/Reports_MD
convert-docs -e pdf,docx        # restrict which extensions get converted
convert-docs -f                 # force re-conversion, ignoring the up-to-date skip

Flag	Description
-s, --source	Source directory to scan (skips the interactive prompt)
-o, --output	Output directory, mirrors source structure (skips the interactive prompt)
-e, --ext	Comma-separated extensions to convert
-f, --force	Force re-conversion even if output .md already exists and is up to date

Files with unsupported extensions are listed at the end instead of being silently skipped, and any conversion failures are reported with the underlying error.

Update

uv tool upgrade convert-docs
