Question 1

What Word formatting is preserved?

Accepted Answer

The converter preserves headings (h1-h6), bold, italic, links, ordered and unordered lists, tables, and images. It converts the DOCX to HTML internally using Mammoth, then transforms the HTML to Markdown using Turndown.

Question 2

Does it support .doc files?

Accepted Answer

The converter works best with .docx files (the modern Word format). Older .doc files may work in some cases, but .docx is recommended for the best results.

Question 3

Is my document uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. The entire conversion happens in your browser. Your Word document never leaves your device, making it safe for confidential or sensitive documents.

Question 4

What about images in the Word document?

Accepted Answer

Images in the DOCX file are converted to base64-encoded inline images in the Markdown output. This means the images are embedded directly in the Markdown text.

Question 5

Can I convert multiple documents at once?

Accepted Answer

Currently, the tool processes one document at a time. Upload a new file to replace the previous conversion. Each conversion is independent.
