DOCX to Markdown Converter — Free, Local | Input and conversion guide
Extracts paragraph text from DOCX, separates paragraphs with blank lines, and adds the filename as a Markdown heading. Use the output as a text draft rather than a complete style conversion.

How to use this tool
Prepare a document with headings, lists, tables, or notes, and plan to inspect complex formatting separately.
Results and examples
Compare the extracted paragraphs and characters with the DOCX. Rebuild heading levels, tables, images, and link structure from the original instead of assuming those features were transferred.
Worked example
Converting meeting.docx adds a meeting heading above the text; rebuild any action-item table from the original document.
Limitations
- The filename becomes a heading above extracted paragraph text; Word heading styles are not fully translated.
- Images, comments, and complex tables are omitted and require manual editorial reconstruction.
Data handling
Processing stays in the current browser tab; the site does not upload tool input for the calculation itself.

Frequently asked questions
Do Word Heading 1 styles become Markdown headings?
The current path primarily extracts text and adds the filename as a heading; it does not fully map styles.
Is the output ready for publication?
Treat it as a text draft and reconstruct missing tables, images, and structure before publishing.
