Local docs, clear limits.

ground.md converts digital-text PDFs to Markdown in the browser. Its WebAssembly parser runs on the device, so document bytes are not uploaded to ground.md. The resulting artifacts include Markdown, plain text, per-page JSON, and extracted images when present. Scanned or image-only pages are flagged; they are not OCRed.

Using the converter

Open the homepage, choose a local PDF, wait for conversion, and download the desired artifact. For repeatable browser automation, use the selectors and instructions in agents.md. There are no accounts, no API keys, and no server-side document processing.

API documentation

The API is intentionally narrow: health, anonymous public aggregate statistics, and a browser-emitted completion metric. It is not a PDF upload or conversion API. The complete machine-readable contract is openapi.json; current routes use /api/v1, while unversioned routes are deprecated aliases.
