The problem
Why copy-paste fails
Style noise
Tracked changes, fonts, and inline styling leak into copy-pasted text and pollute prompts.
Embedded tables
Tables and lists lose their structure when a document is pasted as plain text.
Comments get lost
Review comments and annotations are dropped by naive extraction; structure-aware parsing keeps the content usable.
How it works
Format notes
Headings and lists
Word heading styles (Heading 1–6) map directly to Markdown `#` levels; bulleted and numbered lists are preserved.
Tables
Tables in the document convert to Markdown pipe tables with the original column structure intact.
Tracked changes and comments
Tracked changes and inline review comments are not included in the Markdown output; only the accepted document content is exported.
Embedded images
Embedded images are referenced in the output but not inlined as base64; the Markdown will note their position.
Example output
# Project Proposal ## Scope - Discovery - Implementation - Handover ## Timeline 6 weeks
Common questions
Does it support .doc and .docx?
Yes, both legacy .doc and modern .docx are supported.
What is the maximum file size?
The free converter accepts Word files up to 10 MB. Larger files are supported on paid plans.
Will headings and lists survive?
Yes. Heading hierarchy, lists, and tables are preserved where possible.
Are tracked changes included in the output?
No. Tracked changes and review comments are not part of the Markdown output; the converter exports the accepted document content.
What happens to embedded images?
Embedded images are referenced by position in the output but not inlined as base64 data.
Does it handle password-protected documents?
No. Password-protected Word files cannot be parsed. Remove the document password before uploading.
Do I need an account?
No. Conversion and preview are free; download and saved history use a free account.
Is there a developer API?
Yes. You can automate Word-to-Markdown conversion via the REST API. See /developers for documentation.
