Word to markdown converter

Turn a Word DOCX document into Markdown for documentation, notes, and text-based workflows. Copy the result or download an MD file.

Convert your document

Choose a DOCX document to convert it in your browser. Your document is never uploaded to a server.

Headings, paragraphs, links, and lists become Markdown. Review the result before sharing; complex page layouts and some Word features may not transfer.

Have an older .doc file? Save a .docx copy in your word processor before converting it here.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose a Word document from your device. For legacy .doc files, save a .docx copy in your word processor first.
  2. Review the converted Markdown, especially tables, images, and complex layouts.
  3. Copy the Markdown or download the .md file. Open the Markdown to PDF converter if you need a portable document.

Common questions

Does Markdown preserve the exact Word layout?

No. Markdown represents document structure such as headings, paragraphs, links, and lists. Page layout, fonts, and some complex Word features may not transfer. Review the result before sharing.

Can I convert older .doc files?

The underlying converter is designed for .docx documents. Save an older .doc file as .docx in your word processor before importing it.
