Word to Markdown Converter – DOCX to MD
Upload a DOCX file and extract editable Markdown in your browser. The file is never uploaded to a server.
Word content
Markdown result
Example Word content converted to Markdown.
Common headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links, and basic emphasis are supported. Complex styling, headers and footers, comments, revisions, floating text boxes, SmartArt, and charts are not fully retained.
How to Convert Word to Markdown
Upload a .docx file, review the extracted Word content, edit the Markdown result, then copy or download the .md file.
DOCX to Markdown and Word to Markdown
Word to Markdown and DOCX to Markdown describe the same workflow on this page. Upload a modern .docx document and convert its document structure into editable Markdown. The older binary .doc format is not supported and should be saved as DOCX first.
What DOCX Formatting Is Preserved
Common headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links, and basic emphasis usually convert well. The browser reads the DOCX with Mammoth before generating GFM Markdown. Review images, footnotes, comments, revisions, floating objects, charts, and layout-dependent content because those structures are not fully preserved.
Word to Markdown for GitHub, Obsidian and AI Workflows
Move reports, project briefs, technical documentation, and article drafts into README files, Obsidian notes, Git repositories, or text-based AI and RAG workflows. Keep the original DOCX when page layout or review history remains important.
Limitations: Images, Comments and Complex Layouts
This converter does not promise a complete visual replica of Word. Images are not exported as a bundled attachment set, and comments, tracked changes, headers, footers, SmartArt, charts, and complex page layouts can require manual cleanup after conversion.
Word to Markdown FAQ
Is my Word file uploaded?
No. The .docx file is read and converted only in the current browser.
Which Word files are supported?
The tool accepts .docx files; the older .doc format is not supported.
Are images and complex layouts preserved?
Not reliably. Complex styles, floating objects, charts, and comments may need manual cleanup.
Can I download an MD file?
Yes. Review and edit the result, then download a standard .md file.
Is DOCX to Markdown the same as Word to Markdown?
Yes on this page. The supported Word input is the modern .docx format.
How do I convert a Google Doc to Markdown?
Download the document from Google Docs as a .docx file, then load that local DOCX here. This tool does not connect directly to Google Drive.
Can I convert an old .doc file to Markdown?
No. Save or export the old .doc file as .docx in a compatible word processor before using this converter.
