Word to Markdown
The structure survives, the document stays put
…
- 1
Drop the document in
A .doc, .docx, .odt or .rtf. It is read from disk and never sent anywhere, which matters for the kind of document people convert: drafts, contracts, reports somebody has not published yet.
- 2
It reads the shape as well as the words
Headings stay headings, lists stay lists, and tables come out as Markdown tables. Under five milliseconds for an ordinary document.
- 3
Copy or download
As a .md file, or straight to the clipboard.
FAQ
- Is my document uploaded?
- No. It is read here, on your machine, and nothing is sent or stored. Watch the network panel while you drop one in rather than taking our word for it.
- Which files does it take?
- Word in .doc and .docx, OpenDocument .odt, and .rtf. It decides which by looking inside the file rather than at the name, so a .doc that is really a .docx still opens, which in a folder somebody has kept for a decade is the ordinary case.
- What is lost?
- Anything Markdown has no way to say. Fonts, colours, page breaks, headers and footers, and comments do not survive, because Markdown has no notion of them. Headings, lists, tables, bold, italic and links do.
- What about images inside the document?
- They are left out rather than turned into files beside the text. If you need them, the original still has them: nothing here changes your document.
