Mathcad Prime to Markdown converter
Upload a Mathcad Prime file (.mcdx) and get a single .md file: text becomes paragraphs, formulas become `$$…$$` blocks, and images and plots are embedded directly inside the document. The result is self-contained — no separate image files. Drop the Markdown into a GitHub/GitLab repository, open it in Obsidian or Notion, or build a site with Hugo/MkDocs without losing the math. No Mathcad Prime install required — conversion is server-side and takes 3–5 seconds. Handy for engineers and students who keep calculation notes in Markdown. The source file is deleted immediately after processing; the result is available for 5 minutes.
How it works
- 1Upload your Mathcad Prime file
Drag a .mcdx file (up to 50 MB) onto the upload zone. Files are encrypted in transit.
- 2Select Markdown as the output format
In the format selector choose "Markdown" and click Convert. Typically 3–5 seconds.
- 3Download the .md
The file is available for 5 minutes. Open it in Obsidian, add it to a repository, or feed it to a site generator — math and images are already embedded.
Frequently asked questions
How are formulas represented in Markdown?
Each formula is emitted as a `$$…$$` block in LaTeX syntax. Any viewer with math support (GitHub, Obsidian, Jupyter, MkDocs-Material) renders them as proper math.
Where are images and plots stored?
Inside the .md file itself, embedded directly in the document. The file is self-contained — there is no image folder to move.
Is the result suitable for Obsidian and GitHub?
Yes. GitHub and GitLab render `$$…$$` natively; Obsidian renders it built-in. Put the .md into your repository or notes vault.
Do I need Mathcad Prime installed?
No. Conversion is fully server-side — you only need a browser and a .mcdx file.
