Which files inside the ZIP are converted?

All files with supported formats (PDF, DOCX, DOC, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, EPUB, CSV, JSON, XML, RTF, ODT, etc.) are converted. Unsupported files (images, executables, etc.) are silently skipped.

Are nested ZIP files supported?

Yes. ZIP archives inside a ZIP are extracted and processed recursively.

Is there a limit on archive size?

The same file size limits apply as for any other upload. The total uncompressed content must fit within the conversion timeout.

Will I get a .md file when I convert a ZIP file?

Yes. The download is a standard `.md` file — that's the conventional file extension for Markdown. You can open it in any text editor, drop it into Obsidian, paste it into ChatGPT or Claude, or feed it to a RAG pipeline. If your tool prefers `.markdown` or `.txt`, just rename the file — the contents are identical.

Is .md the same as Markdown?

Yes. `.md` is the file extension; "Markdown" (sometimes "MD") is the lightweight markup language inside it. mdstill outputs GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM), which is the dialect ChatGPT, Claude, and Obsidian understand natively.
