What do I get back from PDF to Markdown?

The result is MD, offered as a download the moment the work finishes. Multiple results come back together rather than as fifty separate save dialogs.

How big a file can I use?

Up to 100 MB per file and 50 files per batch. There is no server queue behind that limit; the practical ceiling is your browser's memory, so split unusually large documents into two runs.

Is it safe to use for a document with personal details in it?

That is the design goal: the document stays on your device, so a statement, a contract or an ID photo is never transmitted for processing. Nothing here needs an internet connection once the page has loaded, apart from engines that fetch their own model data.

Will it work on a phone?

Yes. The layout adapts to a small screen and the processing runs in the mobile browser, so a photo or a downloaded document can be handled on the device it arrived on.
