Which Markdown flavour is produced?

GitHub-flavoured Markdown with ATX (#) headings and fenced code blocks — the most widely supported dialect.

Simple tables convert to Markdown pipe tables. Merged cells and nested tables are simplified because Markdown can't represent them.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The whole conversion runs in your browser.

What this tool does

It parses your Word document into HTML, then converts that into GitHub-flavoured Markdown — ATX headings, dash bullet lists, fenced code blocks and inline links.

Why Markdown?

Markdown is the lingua franca of documentation: READMEs, wikis, Notion, Obsidian and static-site generators all speak it. Converting from Word lets you retire the .docx and keep everything in plain text under version control.

What carries over

Headings, bold, italic, ordered and unordered lists, links and simple tables translate cleanly. Complex Word layout (columns, text boxes, footnotes) is flattened, since Markdown has no equivalent.

How to docx to markdown
