Convert DOCX to Markdown
Word documents to clean Markdown — right in your browser.
DOCX is Microsoft Word's standard format — convenient for writing, but awkward for documentation, Git repositories, wikis or AI processing. Markdown is the common language there: plain text with lightweight formatting that works everywhere.
This converter turns your DOCX files into Markdown with minimal loss: headings become #-headings, bold and italic formatting is preserved, lists and links carry over. Tables are converted to Markdown pipe tables, and embedded images are extracted and saved together with the .md file as a ZIP when you download — with working relative links.
The conversion runs entirely in your browser. There is no upload, no server and no registration — so even confidential documents are safe to convert.
How to convert a DOCX file to Markdown
- Drag your .docx file into the box above — or click to select it. Multiple files at once are supported.
- Conversion starts automatically. The preview shows the rendered result; in the Markdown tab you can edit the text directly.
- Download the result as an .md file (as a ZIP if it contains images) or copy it to the clipboard with one click.
DOCX conversion questions
Are Word tables preserved?
Yes. Tables are converted to Markdown pipe tables with a header and separator row. Very complex tables with merged cells are simplified.
What happens to images in the document?
Embedded images are extracted and referenced with relative links (media/image-1.png) in the Markdown. The download is a ZIP file containing the .md file and a media folder.
Do .doc files (the old Word format) work?
No, the old binary .doc format is not supported. Open the file in Word and save it as .docx — then the conversion works.
How large can files be?
Up to 200 MB per file. Since everything runs locally in your browser, speed depends on your device.
