Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert older .doc files?
No, this tool specifically supports the newer .docx format (Word 2007 and later). If you have a .doc file, please resave it as a .docx file in Word first.
Are Word styles and themes preserved?
Markdown is a structural format, not a visual one. While headings, bold text, and lists are preserved, visual elements like font colors, custom margins, and themes are ignored.

How to convert Word documents to Markdown

Microsoft Word is great for authoring, but Markdown is the standard for web publishing, developer documentation, and feeding codebase context to AI IDEs. Our tool bridges the gap by translating rich DOCX layouts into text-friendly Markdown.

What gets converted?

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

How it works

We use Mammoth.js to convert the DOCX file into semantic HTML, which is then translated into clean, GitHub-flavored Markdown using Turndown. The entire process runs in your browser for maximum privacy, giving you clean Markdown that is ready to be loaded by LLMs or AI assistants like Cursor, Codex, and Antigravity.
