Convert documents to Markdown
Run the anydoc CLI. It needs Node 20+ and no install:
bash
npx -y @firecrawl/anydoc <file> # Markdown to stdout
npx -y @firecrawl/anydoc <file> -o out.md # write to a file
npx -y @firecrawl/anydoc - --format csv < f # read stdinRules:
- Supported inputs:
.doc,.docx,.docm,.odt,.rtf,.epub,.pdf,.ppt,.pps,.pot,.pptx,.pptm,.ppsx,.ppsm,.odp,.xls,.xlsx,.xlsm,.xlsb,.ods,.csv. - 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. - 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. - For a large document, write to a file with
-oand read the parts you need instead of streaming everything into context. - Scanned and image-only pages need OCR, which anydoc does not do, so the document exits 3. Rerun with
--ocr hostedto send it to Firecrawl Parse. No signup needed. Pass--api-keyor setFIRECRAWL_API_KEYfor higher limits. - Inside a Node, Python, or Rust codebase, prefer the library over shelling out:
@firecrawl/anydocon npm,firecrawl-anydocon PyPI,anydocon crates.io. Each exposes the sameto_markdown/toMarkdownAPI.
