DOCX to Markdown Converter
Upload a Word document or paste a link and get clean markdown with headings, lists and tables, ready for a wiki, a Git repository or an LLM.
How to convert Word to Markdown
- 1
Upload a .docx file or paste a URL
Drop a Word document or paste a public link to one. The free converter handles 20 free conversions per day, up to 50 pages (5 for scans and images) and 5 MB each.
- 2
The structure is read, not just the text
Headings, lists and tables are mapped to their markdown equivalents instead of being flattened into plain paragraphs.
- 3
Copy or download the markdown
Review the result, copy it, or download a .md file.
When to convert Word documents to Markdown
Teams move Word documents to markdown to publish them in docs sites and wikis, keep them in Git next to code, or feed them to LLMs and RAG pipelines, where plain-text structure works better than a binary .docx file.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the converter free?
- Yes. You get 20 free conversions per day, up to 50 pages (5 for scans and images) and 5 MB each, without an account. A free account adds 100 API credits for larger files and automation.
- Which Word formats are supported?
- DOCX works best. Older DOC files, RTF and OpenDocument text (ODT) are accepted too.
- Which file types can I convert?
- PDF, Word (DOCX, DOC), Excel (XLSX, XLS), PowerPoint (PPTX, PPT), OpenDocument (ODT, ODS, ODP), RTF, EPUB, HTML, Markdown, TXT, CSV, TSV, XML, JSON and images (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, BMP, HEIC). Every converter page takes every format, so you can drop any of them here.
- Is my file kept?
- Files are never stored permanently or used for training, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Files from failed requests on the shared General Instance are kept encrypted for up to 14 days to diagnose the failure, then deleted automatically.
- Can I convert files in bulk or from code?
- Yes. The Document Parse API takes the same files (by upload, base64 or URL) and returns markdown, with optional page-by-page output, from TypeScript, Python, cURL, Zapier, Make or n8n.
