PackForAI is a document conversion service that transforms files like PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and more into clean, AI-optimized Markdown. It tackles the common problem of garbled text, broken tables, and noisy formatting when extracting raw text, enabling language models like ChatGPT and Claude to produce more accurate responses while consuming up to 65% fewer tokens. The service supports multiple file formats (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, CSV, JSON) and offers advanced features such as OCR recovery for scanned documents, accurate table preservation including merged cells and date serial numbers, and a compact mode that reduces token usage. Privacy is a priority; all files are stored in the EU, scoped to user accounts, and never used for AI training. PackForAI provides several access methods: a web app for manual conversion, a REST API for programmatic use, an open-source MCP server for integration with AI assistants like Claude and Cursor, and a CLI tool. A free tier allows 3 conversions per day, while paid plans unlock higher limits, OCR, and API access, with a $2.99 day pass for occasional batches. Discounts are available for students and certain regions.
