Everything happens on your machine.

Or pick one with the button. Or just paste with Ctrl+V. Dozens at a time is fine.

How it works

  1. 01Drop your .docx file onto the box above, or click to pick one. Dozens at a time is fine.
  2. 02Conversion starts the moment the file lands — no button, no queue on a server. It takes a few hundred milliseconds.
  3. 03Read the Markdown, tweak the knobs if you want a different bullet or fence style, then copy it or download the .md.

What's supported

  • Every .docx Word has written since 2007, plus Word Online and Word for Mac
  • Old .doc as a bonus — the format is detected from the file header, not the extension
  • Heading levels, pipe tables, nested lists, links, inline formatting and code blocks
  • Embedded images, inlined as base64 or reduced to a path
  • Dozens of files in one go, downloadable as a single zip

What it won't do

  • Merged cells are flattened — Markdown pipe tables can't express them
  • Track changes, comments and revision history are dropped
  • Text boxes, SmartArt and charts don't come across; only their text, if any
  • Encrypted documents are refused rather than half-read
  • Files over 25 MB, and anything whose compression ratio looks like a zip bomb

What survives

These carry over as-is. Anything else gets a best effort, and you'll be told when it doesn't line up.

Old .doc files skip the images — that format hides them where a browser can't reach.

Questions people ask

A .docx is a zip full of XML, so it reads cleanly and images come along. A .doc is OLE binary from 1997 — we parse it in your browser too, but images and list numbering can't be recovered from it. Same tool, one is just a richer file.
