About this tool
What this converter does
Word documents carry a lot of formatting that Markdown-based systems cannot use: fonts, colors, margins, and styles all get in the way when the destination is a wiki, a docs site, or a static site generator. This converter extracts the structure that matters, turning Word headings, lists, and tables into their Markdown equivalents.
Reach for it when migrating documentation out of Word, preparing articles written by non-technical teammates for publishing, or cleaning up .docx content for a knowledge base. Because the output is plain text, it also diffs cleanly in version control.
How to use DOCX to Markdown
- 1
Upload the .docx file
Drag the Word document onto the upload card or select it from your computer. The modern .docx format is required.
- 2
Let the structure convert
Heading styles become Markdown headings, bullet and numbered lists become list syntax, and bold and italic emphasis is kept.
- 3
Take the result with you
Copy the Markdown into your wiki or editor, or download it as a .md file ready to commit.
Good to know
- The legacy .doc format is not supported; open the file in Word and save it as .docx first.
- Formatting with no Markdown equivalent, such as fonts, colors, columns, and text boxes, is left out by design.
- Heading conversion depends on real heading styles; text that was made big and bold manually stays a paragraph.
FAQs
Common questions
My headings became plain paragraphs. Why?
The converter reads Word’s heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on). If the document used enlarged bold text instead of styles, apply proper heading styles in Word and convert again.
What happens to tracked changes and comments?
The conversion reflects the document’s current text. Accept or reject tracked changes in Word before converting so the Markdown matches the version you intend to publish.
Can I convert an old .doc file?
Not directly. Open it in Word, LibreOffice, or Google Docs and export it as .docx, then upload that file here.
