How to convert DOCX to Markdown
- Add your files. Drop DOCX files anywhere on the page, or use Choose files. Folders and ZIP archives work too; every DOCX inside is picked up.
- Check that Markdown is selected. Markdown is already chosen on this page. Other formats in the same row are one tap away if you change your mind.
- Adjust options if you need to. There is nothing to set; the defaults are chosen for the best result.
- Convert and download. Press Convert. Each file shows its progress, then a Download button. With several files, “Download all” gives you a single ZIP.
What happens to your DOCX
The Word document is read by Mammoth and then written out as Markdown with Turndown: headings become #, lists become - or 1., links and tables are kept in Markdown syntax.
Images are kept as embedded data links. The text is saved as UTF-8, so accents, symbols and non-Latin scripts survive.
About DOCX and Markdown
DOCX: DOCX is the Microsoft Word format, also opened by Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages.
Markdown: Markdown is plain text with simple marks for headings, lists and links. It is used for READMEs, notes and documentation.
Questions
Is my DOCX file uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside this browser tab using code served by this site, and the Markdown is created on your device. You can even disconnect from the internet once the page and its converter have loaded.
What happens to images and formatting?
Plain text keeps only the words. Markdown keeps structure such as headings, lists, links and tables. HTML keeps the structure and embeds images.
Can I convert several DOCX files at once?
Yes. Drop as many DOCX files as you like, a whole folder or a ZIP. They convert one after another, and “Download all” saves every Markdown in one ZIP that keeps your folder structure.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device’s memory: a phone may struggle with very large files that a laptop converts easily.
