Is my Word document uploaded to a server?

No. The .docx is read and converted locally in your browser — safe for confidential work documents.

Can I paste from Word instead of uploading?

Yes. Use the paste tab: copy text in Word and paste it, and the formatting is converted to Markdown.

Does it support old .doc files?

No — only modern .docx. In Word, use File → Save As → .docx first.

What happens to images and footnotes?

Embedded images and footnotes are simplified or dropped — the tool focuses on clean text, headings, lists, links, and tables.

Word (.docx) to Markdown

Upload a .docx file or paste content copied straight from Word, and get clean GitHub-Flavored Markdown. Headings, bold, italic, links, lists, and tables convert to standard Markdown ready for a README, wiki, or docs site. Conversion happens locally in your browser, so your documents are never uploaded to a server.

Drag & drop a .docx file

Your file is converted in your browser and never uploaded.

Markdown Output

What comes through cleanly

Text & structure

Headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, links, and lists map to standard Markdown you can drop into a README, wiki, or docs site.

Tables

Word tables convert to GitHub-Flavored Markdown tables via the GFM turndown plugin, so columns stay intact.

Private

Everything runs locally in your browser. Documents are never uploaded to a server.
