Built on markitdown + docling — both MIT

Send a PDF. Get clean Markdown your LLM can read.

One API call. Tables preserved. Headings preserved. Footnotes inline. Half the price of LlamaParse.

PDF parsing is broken.

Most AI apps that “chat with documents” feed garbage to the model. Tables get scrambled. Multi-column pages mix together. Footnotes inline with body text. Then the LLM hallucinates and the user blames the AI.

Mintmark gives you the parsing layer that actually works — backed by two best-in-class open-source projects (Microsoft markitdown and IBM docling), wrapped in a single REST endpoint, billed per page.

One call

From PDF to Markdown in one request.
