Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert older .doc files?
No. This converter supports .docx files from Word 2007 and later. Open an older .doc file in Word or LibreOffice and save it as .docx first.
Are Word styles and themes preserved?
Markdown preserves structure rather than page design. Headings, bold text, lists, and tables can carry over, but fonts, colors, margins, and Word themes do not.

How to convert Word documents to Markdown

Word works well for formatted documents, while Markdown is easier to review in Git, publish on the web, and reuse in developer tools. This converter moves the useful structure from a DOCX file into a simpler text format.

What gets converted?

  • Headings (H1-H6)
  • Paragraphs and text formatting (bold, italic)
  • Lists (ordered and unordered)
  • Tables

How it works

Mammoth.js reads the DOCX structure and converts it to semantic HTML. Turndown then translates that HTML into GitHub-flavored Markdown. Both steps run in your browser, so you can review the result without uploading the original document.
