Tips for DOCX to MD conversion

About DOCX and MD formats
.DOCX format
DOCX is Microsoft Word's document format. It stores text, formatting, images, and tables in a compressed XML-based structure.
.MD format
Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text. Widely used for documentation, README files, blog posts, and notes. Simple syntax that converts cleanly to HTML.
Frequently asked questions
Will my headings and lists survive the conversion?
Yes. Word heading styles become Markdown # headings, and bullet/numbered lists convert to proper Markdown list syntax. Bold, italic, and links are preserved too.
What happens to images in the Word document?
The text and structure convert cleanly, but images aren't embedded in the Markdown output. Markdown references images by file path or URL, so you'd add those separately.
Is DOCX to Markdown free and private?
Yes — it's completely free with no signup, and your file is automatically deleted from our servers within 24 hours.
