Drop a .docx file and get clean Markdown — headings, tables, lists, and formatting preserved. Free, private, and nothing leaves your browser.
Converting a Word document to Markdown extracts the text and structure from a .docx file and rewrites it as clean Markdown — headings, lists, tables, bold, and links become plain-text Markdown you can version-control, publish to a static site, or paste into a README. This tool does it in your browser, with the file never leaving your device.
Drop a .docx file (or click to upload) and the tool reads it locally with Mammoth.js, converts it to HTML, and turns that into GitHub Flavored Markdown with Turndown — then you copy or download the .md. It handles headings, paragraphs, bold and italic, ordered and unordered lists, tables, and links. Older binary .doc files aren't supported (re-save as .docx in Word first), and images or complex layouts may need a quick manual cleanup. To then read the Markdown natively on a Mac, MacMD Viewer renders .md files with Finder QuickLook and live reload.
Drop your .docx file onto the converter (or click to upload). It reads the document locally, converts it to clean Markdown, and lets you copy or download the .md file. Nothing is uploaded — the conversion happens entirely in your browser.
No — only the modern .docx format is supported. Older binary .doc files won't convert; open the file in Word (or Google Docs) and re-save or export it as .docx first, then convert.
Yes. Your .docx file is read and converted locally on your device using Mammoth.js and Turndown. Nothing is uploaded to any server, so it's safe for confidential documents.
Headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, ordered and unordered lists, tables, and links convert reliably. Images, footnotes, comments, and complex multi-column or heavily-styled layouts may not carry over cleanly and can need a quick manual touch-up.
Open the downloaded .md file in any Markdown viewer or editor. On a Mac, MacMD Viewer ($19.99 one-time) renders it natively with Finder QuickLook, Mermaid, and live reload; or use the free in-browser MD file viewer on any device.
