Why this matters
Docs migration
Moving from Word/Google Docs to Notion, GitBook, Docusaurus, or a static-site docs framework? Markdown is the universal interchange format.
READMEs from spec docs
Engineering specs often live in Word. Convert to Markdown to drop straight into a GitHub README, PR description, or wiki page.
Word → LLM context
Markdown is 5-10x more token-efficient than the underlying DOCX XML. Paste into ChatGPT or Claude for analysis and summary.
How it works
Upload a .docx file (up to 10 MB) — spec, contract, report, manual
We use the mammoth library to convert Word XML to semantic HTML, then to clean Markdown
Copy the Markdown — drop it into your docs system, README, or LLM prompt
Frequently Asked Questions
What gets preserved from the Word document?
Headings (H1-H6), paragraphs, bold, italic, hyperlinks, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, and tables. Styling like font color or font family is dropped — Markdown is about structure, not presentation.
How accurate is it?
Very accurate for documents that use Word's built-in styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.). Documents with custom styles or heavy formatting may need light cleanup. The converter is `mammoth` — the same library most Word-to-HTML pipelines use.
Is .doc (old format) supported?
No — this tool handles .docx only (Word 2007 and later). For legacy .doc files, open them in Word or LibreOffice and save as .docx first.
What's the file size limit?
10 MB per upload. That covers nearly all real-world Word documents — even 200-page reports rarely exceed a few MB.
Are images extracted?
Embedded images are not extracted into separate files. Image alt text is preserved in the Markdown where present, but the actual image binary is dropped from the output.
Is my document uploaded to a server?
Yes — DOCX parsing requires server-side code. Your file is parsed in-memory and discarded after the response. We don't write to disk or keep copies.
