Before you start
Read editable DOCX paragraphs, headings, numbered lists, tables and supported links into Markdown. Embedded raster images travel with the Markdown in a ZIP. Word page layout is not reproduced.
How to use this tool
- Choose the local .docx file. The working copy stays in this browser.
- Select “Convert to Markdown” after choosing the DOCX.
- Compare links, headings, lists and tables with the Word source. If images are present, download and extract the ZIP so the Markdown and its asset folder stay together; copied text or a standalone Markdown download still needs that folder.
Supported inputs and limits
Document packages are limited to 20 MiB, 2,000 entries and 100 MiB expanded. The first table row becomes the Markdown header. HTTP(S), email and bookmarked-heading links are supported; embedded body PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP images are exported. Linked images, other image formats and non-heading bookmarks are rejected. Comments, headers, footers, fields, embedded objects and complex layout are not reproduced; macros and external targets are not executed or fetched.
Each package entry must expand by no more than 100 times its compressed size; highly compressed or malformed packages are rejected.

When something does not work
Keep the original DOCX. Review link targets, list numbering, tables and image assets before replacing a text source; unsupported linked media or non-heading bookmarks need separate handling.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. Files and tool input are processed in your browser. Moving around the site can keep a temporary workspace in the same tab. Refreshing or closing the tab clears it, so download results you want to keep.
What should I check in this result?
Compare link targets, heading levels, list starts, table cells and image references with the original DOCX. Use the ZIP for local image files. Comments and page layout are omitted; keep the Word source for anything that does not transfer.
