Minh Nguyen

Founder · Solo Developer · Phần Mềm Tổng Hợp

I'm Minh Nguyen, an independent developer based in Hà Nội. I graduated from Hanoi University of Science & Technology (HUST) with a CS degree in 2018, took 2nd place at the FPT Software Innovation Hackathon 2017, and finished top 30 at the ACM ICPC Asia Regional 2016 (Northern qualifier).

Since 2018 I've shipped 8 free SaaS tools for Vietnamese users — KiTuDacBiet, ImgTools, OneGen, PDF Toolkit, SEOTool, OneAudio, OneSVG, and MarkdownKit. Shared philosophy: privacy by design (browser-side wherever possible), genuinely free, Vietnamese-first.

MarkdownKit was born from a daily annoyance: I feed PDFs/DOCX/HTML into ChatGPT and Claude every day, and miscounting tokens was costing me real money. This tool counts tokens exactly for GPT-4o, estimates them for Claude/Gemini, and opens results straight in your AI chat — no more manual copy-paste.

Frequently asked questions

Is MarkdownKit free?

Yes — 100% free for all 7 client-side tools (HTML, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, JSON, EPUB, PDF basic). No usage limits, no watermark, no signup.

Why use Markdown instead of pasting files into ChatGPT?

Markdown is 60-80% smaller in tokens than HTML/PDF/DOCX raw. Same content, fewer tokens = more room in the context window + cheaper API calls. Critical for heavy AI users.

Is the token counter accurate?

100% accurate for GPT-4o and GPT-4 (uses OpenAI's official tokenizer). For Claude and Gemini it's an estimate (~5% margin) since those vendors don't publish official tokenizers.

Are my files uploaded?

No — for the 6 client-side tools (HTML/DOCX/XLSX/CSV/JSON/EPUB) everything runs in your browser via JavaScript. PDF also uses PDF.js client-side. Verify in DevTools → Network.

Does PDF preserve math equations and tables?

Free tier uses PDF.js — text only. Tables and math may lose layout. For high-quality extraction (preserving tables, math, footnotes), use Marker or Datalab API — coming as a paid tier.

Can I use it commercially?

Absolutely. Markdown you generate is yours — no attribution, no limits.
