About converting DOCX to Markdown
A Word .docxis a zip of XML that describes your document’s structure and styles. This tool reads that structure semantically and writes it out as Markdown: headings become # headings, lists become- bullets or numbered items, bold and italic become**bold** and _italic_, and links become[text](url).
What it preserves is the meaning and structure, not the pixel layout — Markdown has no concept of fonts, columns, or page margins, so those are intentionally left behind. Tables keep their cell text in reading order, but complex Word tables are not re-drawn as a perfect Markdown pipe-grid; for table-heavy documents, DOCX to HTML keeps more table structure.
Is it private?
Yes. The converter is JavaScript running on your own machine. It reads the .docx and writes the Markdown entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or seen by us; there is no server to send files to.
