Word to Markdown Converter (DOCX to MD)

Drop your .docx file onto the converter at the top of this page. It converts in your browser with no upload and no signup. Download the Markdown as a .md file.

Most of it. Headings convert to markdown heading levels, bold and italic text are maintained, lists and links are kept, tables become Markdown pipe tables with the first row as the header, and images are saved as files next to the Markdown. Tables with merged cells or nested tables are flattened and may need a tidy-up. Custom styles, text boxes, and comments may also need manual cleanup.

Images are pulled out of the document as files. The Markdown links to them as !alt text, and the download is a ZIP holding the .md file and an images folder, ready to drop into a site or a notes vault. If you would rather have one self-contained file, pick embed in .md on the file card and the images are inlined as data URIs instead.

No, the converter accepts .docx only (Office 2007 and later). Open an older .doc file in Word and save it as .docx first, then convert it here.

Comments are left out. Tracked changes come through as if you had accepted every one: inserted text is kept and deleted text is dropped. Reject any changes you do not want in Word before converting, and add important comments to the Markdown by hand afterward.

Yes, 100% free. No signup, no limits, no hidden fees. Convert as many Word documents as you need.

Absolutely. Your DOCX file is processed entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device and is never uploaded to any server. We have zero access to your documents. See how Craft Markdown keeps your files on your device.
