# Import & Export Guide

## Import — 13+ Formats

Drop any file onto mdfy.app, use the **IMPORT** button in the sidebar, or paste content directly.

| Format | How it works |
|--------|-------------|
| **PDF** | Server-side text extraction (max 4MB) |
| **DOCX** | Word → HTML → Markdown via mammoth |
| **PPTX / XLSX** | Office text extraction via officeparser (max 10MB) |
| **HTML** | Turndown converts to clean Markdown |
| **CSV** | Auto-converted to Markdown table |
| **LaTeX** | Sections, math, formatting → Markdown |
| **RST** | reStructuredText headings, links → Markdown |
| **RTF / JSON / XML / TXT** | Text extraction with format hints |

### AI mdfy Structuring

After importing, you'll see **"mdfy this document?"** — click **mdfy it** to let AI:

- Detect headings from context
- Rebuild lists, tables, code blocks
- Add emphasis and formatting
- Preserve all original content

> Works great for PDF imports where formatting is lost during text extraction.

### Import via CLI

```bash
# Pipe any file content
cat report.md | mdfy publish
pbpaste | mdfy publish
```

### Import via Chrome Extension

Click the mdfy button on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to capture AI conversations directly.
