How does the Generate Table of Contents work?

Long PDFs become much more usable when readers can jump to a chapter from the bookmark sidebar. This tool detects headings in your PDF (using font size as the cue — bigger text = higher-level heading) and adds them as bookmarks automatically. Choose how many levels to include: top-level only (only the biggest font), or up to three levels deep. Works best on documents with clear typographic hierarchy — books, reports, manuals. Conversion runs in your browser.

Frequently asked

It buckets the text by font size and treats the largest sizes as headings. The "levels" option controls how many size buckets count. Documents with consistent typography produce great results; flat-formatted PDFs less so.
