Drop in one .docx file or a whole batch. Headings, lists, tables, and links come out the other side as clean, portable Markdown — ready for a README, a static site, or your notes app.
Drag one or many .docx files into the box above, or click to browse.
Your files go to our conversion service, where Pandoc reads the Word document's structure and rewrites it as plain-text Markdown — headings become #, tables become pipe tables, and so on.
A single file downloads immediately. Batches come back as one .zip.
md-to-docx converts Word (.docx) documents to Markdown using Pandoc, the standard open-source document converter — upload one file or a whole batch, and headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and links all come through as clean, editable Markdown.
Upload a folder's worth of .docx files together. Several similar tools only let you convert one file at a time — this one doesn't.
No pandoc install, no command line, no Word plugin. Open a browser tab, drop your files, done.
You get plain-text Markdown you can commit to a repo, paste into a static site generator, or open in any editor — no Word required to read it again.
We don't ask for an email address, and nothing is stamped into your output.
Conversion runs on Pandoc, the same tool technical writers and academic publishers have trusted for two decades — not a black-box in-house parser.
Uploaded files are removed the moment conversion finishes, and converted output is deleted right after your download completes.
Bring existing Word documentation into a Markdown-based wiki, docs site, or static site generator without retyping everything.
Received a spec, brief, or contract as a .docx? Convert it to Markdown to diff it, version it in git, or paste it into a Markdown editor.
Move old Word notes into Obsidian, Notion-flavored Markdown, or a personal knowledge base.
Turn a Word-based README or changelog into the Markdown format GitHub and GitLab expect.
Convert an article drafted in Word into Markdown for a blog, CMS, or newsletter platform that expects plain text.
Markdown diffs cleanly in git; Word docs don't. Convert once and start tracking every future edit as plain text.
Yes — every conversion is free, with no signup, no watermark, and no hidden per-file limit beyond the size caps below.
Your files are uploaded over HTTPS to our conversion server and processed there with Pandoc — this isn't a browser-only tool. We don't read, inspect, or store the contents of your documents. Uploaded source files are deleted the moment conversion finishes, and the converted output is removed right after your download completes. If you're converting something highly sensitive, running Pandoc locally on your own machine is the safest option.
Markdown is a much simpler format than .docx, so it can't represent everything Word can. Headings, paragraphs, bold/italic, lists, tables, block quotes, and links all convert cleanly. Things like custom fonts, colors, comments, tracked changes, and precise page layout don't have a Markdown equivalent and won't carry over — the output focuses on structure and content, not visual styling.
In this version, images embedded in a .docx aren't extracted into the converted Markdown — the text, headings, tables, and links convert, but inline images are omitted. If your document is image-heavy, keep the original .docx as your source of truth for those. (Full image extraction is on our roadmap.)
Each file can be up to 25 MB, and a single upload batch can total up to 200 MB.
Yes. Drop as many .docx files as you like in a single batch; more than one file comes back as a single .zip. Plenty of similar tools cap you at one file at a time — this one doesn't.
Yes. The output is plain text with no license restrictions attached — it's entirely yours to use, edit, publish, or sell.
Not visually — Markdown has no visual styling of its own; how it looks depends on wherever you render it (GitHub, a static site, an editor preview). What carries over is the structure: headings stay headings, lists stay lists, tables stay tables.
