Word to Markdown

Try the Converter

Word is where most documents are written, but it’s a poor format for publishing, version control, or feeding to AI. Styles that look like headings are often just bold text, and the binary .docx format can’t be diffed, searched across, or rendered on the web without conversion.

Converting to Markdown unlocks your content. Documents that use Word’s built-in styles convert almost perfectly — heading levels, lists, tables, and links all map to native Markdown. It’s the essential first step for docs-as-code workflows, static-site publishing, and AI-assisted writing.

How to convert Word to Markdown

1. 1

   Add your document

   Upload a .doc or .docx file. Accept or reject any tracked changes first for the cleanest result.

2. 2

   Styles are mapped

   Word’s heading styles become Markdown headings, lists stay lists, and bold/italic formatting carries over.

3. 3

   Tables and images handled

   Tables become Markdown pipe tables, and embedded images are OCR’d so their text is captured.

4. 4

   Get your Markdown

   Download the .md or copy it straight into your editor, repo, or notes app.
