Drop in a Word document and get clean Markdown back. The file is read on your device, so private documents stay private.

This is an interactive tool. Use it at https://promptitin.com/free-tools/docx-to-markdown.

## How to use it

1. Drop a .docx file on the box, or tap to choose one.
2. Wait a moment while it's read.
3. Copy the Markdown, or download it as a .md file.

## Tips

- Use Word's heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2). They become Markdown headings; big bold text doesn't.
- Old .doc files need saving as .docx first: File › Save As › Word Document.
- Images, comments and tracked deletions are left out. Tracked insertions are kept.
- Markdown is a good way to give a long Word document to ChatGPT or Claude: the structure stays and the tokens drop.

## FAQ

### Is my document uploaded?

No. It's opened and converted in your browser, and never leaves your device.

### What formatting is kept?

Headings, bold, italics, strikethrough, links, bulleted and numbered lists (nested ones too) and tables.

### Does it work with Google Docs or Pages files?

Download them as .docx first, then drop the file here. For Google Docs you can also copy and paste into our Google Docs to Markdown tool.

### Is there a size limit?

Files up to 50 MB. Most documents are far smaller.
