Convert documents to Markdown

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 stdin

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. 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 PDFs need OCR, which anydoc does not do; they fail as unsupported. The hosted Firecrawl Parse API handles those.
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.
