What the publisher says
From the markitai repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Markitai
Opinionated Markdown converter with native LLM enhancement support.
- Multi-format: DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF, EPUB, EML, TXT, MD, images (JPG/PNG/WebP), and URLs → clean Markdown; legacy .doc/.ppt via the legacy extra
- LLM enhancement: AI-powered format cleaning, frontmatter metadata, and vision analysis of embedded images via litellm, so any provider works (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, local CLIs, and more)
- Batch processing: concurrent conversion with progress display and --resume for interrupted jobs
- OCR: scanned PDFs and images via local RapidOCR (optional extra, see below), or --ocr --llm to have the vision model read the page images directly (VLM-OCR)
- Web fetching: static HTTP with cache revalidation, or Playwright rendering for JS-heavy pages
- Local web workspace: upload files or folders, submit URLs, configure LLM providers, compare results, retry failures, and revisit conversion history — CLI runs can opt in too, via --record-history
Docs:
Install
Guided installer (recommended). Installs Python and uv if needed, lets you pick extras and the Playwright browser, and offers a mirror when the default index is unreachable. Bilingual (EN/中文).
# Linux/macOS
curl -fsSL https://markitai.dev/setup.sh | sh
# Windows (PowerShell)
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://markitai.dev/setup.ps1 | iex"Already have Python 3.11–3.13? Install the package alone, then run the two setup steps yourself:
uv tool install markitai # or: pipx install markitai
markitai doctor # check core and optional capabilities
markitai init # config and LLM providerBrowser rendering needs the browser extra, then Chromium:
uv tool install "markitai[browser]" --force
markitai doctor --fixBoth routes install markitai and the shorter mkai alias.
Extras
ocr is opt-in because it adds ~160MB of models. The guided installer asks about it, and markitai doctor prints the command when it is missing:
uv tool install "markitai[ocr]" --forceLaunch the local web workspace with:
uv tool install "markitai[serve]" --force
markitai serveQuick start
