Word to Markdown
Upload a DOCX file and extract headings, lists, links, tables, and basic formatting into clean Markdown for publishing.
Converter overview
The Word to Markdown converter extracts readable Markdown from DOCX files, including common headings, paragraphs, lists, links, tables, bold text, and italic text. It helps move content out of Word and into documentation repositories, static site generators, blogs, CMS fields, or knowledge bases.
The tool focuses on clean Markdown instead of pixel-perfect Word layout. Complex page design, floating objects, columns, comments, and custom styles may need manual cleanup after conversion, but the exported text gives you a structured draft to continue editing.

Frequently asked questions
What Word format is supported?
DOCX is supported in the browser. Older .doc files should be opened in Word or LibreOffice and saved as DOCX first.
Will complex layouts stay perfect?
No converter can perfectly preserve every Word layout. This tool focuses on clean Markdown text and common document structure.
