Convert Word (.doc, .docx), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), OpenDocument (.odt, .ods, .odp), RTF, EPUB, CSV, and PDF files to GitHub-Flavored Markdown. Use when a task needs the contents of an office document, spreadsheet, presentation, ebook, or PDF you cannot read directly.

Convert documents to Markdown Run the anydoc CLI. It needs Node 20+ and no install: Rules: 1. Supported inputs: .doc , .docx , .docm , .odt , .rtf , .epub , .pdf , .ppt , .pps , .pot , .pptx , .pptm , .ppsx , .ppsm , .odp , .xls , .xlsx , .xlsm , .xlsb , .ods , .csv . 2. The format is detected from the file content. Pass format <name only when detection cannot work: CSV from stdin, or a missing or wrong extension. 3. Exit codes: 0 success, 1 the document could not be converted, 2 usage error, 3 pages of a PDF need OCR. Failures print one anydoc: <message line to stderr. The CLI never prompts. 4. For a large document, write to a file with o and read the parts you need instead of streaming everything into context. 5. Scanned and image only pages need OCR, which anydoc does not do, so the document exits 3. Rerun with ocr hosted to send it to [Firecrawl Parse](https://firecrawl.dev/parse). No signup needed. Pass api key or set FIRECRAWL API KEY for higher limits. 6. Inside a Node, Python, or Rust codebase, prefer the library over shelling out: @firecrawl/anydoc on npm, firecrawl anydoc on PyPI, anydoc on crates.io. Each exposes the same to markdown / toMarkdown API.
