DOCX to MD Conversion That Keeps Structure
Turn the logical structure in a Word document into Markdown you can read, edit, version, and reuse. The conversion happens locally on your device.
Semantic document structure
Word heading styles become Markdown headings, while paragraphs, emphasis, links, lists, and common tables remain readable.
GFM-ready output
The generated Markdown works well in GitHub, Obsidian, VS Code, documentation sites, note apps, and knowledge-base workflows.
Preview and edit first
Inspect the result in the built-in editor, switch to rendered preview, and use undo or redo before downloading.
Private browser processing
Your DOCX content and extracted images stay in your browser. Only minimal plan and usage status is sent to the service.

Why Use MDConvert for DOCX to MD
This DOCX to Markdown converter is designed around usable output, honest limitations, and a private workflow rather than visual imitation of a Word page.
Structure over decoration
Markdown preserves meaning rather than page appearance. Headings, lists, links, emphasis, code, and common tables matter; fonts, margins, floating layout, and decorative styling do not.
Portable image choices
Keep images embedded in one .md file for easy sharing, download a conventional .md plus images folder, or remove images for a compact text-only result.
Clear handling of edge cases
Complex merged tables, formulas, text boxes, and unusual Word styles may be simplified. The converter shows a warning instead of pretending the result is exact.
What DOCX to MD Conversion Preserves
MDConvert maps common Word semantics to familiar Markdown syntax and safely degrades visual-only formatting.
Headings and text styles
Heading levels 1–6, paragraphs, bold, italic, and strikethrough become clean Markdown. Underline, superscript, and subscript remain readable text.
Lists, links, and notes
Ordered, unordered, and nested lists remain structured. Safe links, footnotes, and endnotes are retained when the document exposes them semantically.
Tables, code, and revisions
Common tables become GFM tables, Word Code styles become fenced code, inserted revisions are accepted, deletions are omitted, and comments are ignored.
Images and safe downloads
Embedded images are extracted locally and can be kept inline or placed in a ZIP images folder. External file access and raw HTML output remain disabled.
