Convert Any Document to Markdown

Markdown has become the universal standard for documentation, technical writing, and content management. Our multi-format document converter makes it easy to transform your existing documents into clean, portable Markdown files.

Supported Document Formats

Why Convert Documents to Markdown?

• Universal Compatibility: Markdown works everywhere - GitHub, GitLab, static sites, CMSs, and documentation tools
• Version Control Friendly: Track changes easily with Git - see exactly what changed
• Platform Independent: View and edit on any device with any text editor
• Future-Proof: Plain text files will always be readable, unlike proprietary formats
• Lightweight: Markdown files are tiny compared to binary document formats
• SEO Optimized: Search engines can easily crawl and index Markdown content
• Fast Loading: Perfect for static site generators and web publishing

How It Works

Our converter uses advanced JavaScript libraries to process documents entirely in your browser:

1. DOCX Conversion: Uses Mammoth.js to extract content, then Turndown to convert HTML to Markdown
2. XLSX Conversion: Uses SheetJS to parse spreadsheets and generates Markdown table syntax
3. PPTX Conversion: Uses JSZip to extract slide XML and parses text content into Markdown
4. TXT Conversion: Direct passthrough of plain text content

Common Use Cases

• Documentation Migration: Convert corporate documentation from Office formats to Markdown
• GitHub README Files: Transform Word documents into GitHub-ready README files
• Static Site Content: Prepare content for Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby, or Next.js
• Knowledge Bases: Convert legacy documents for Markdown-based knowledge bases
• Technical Writing: Move technical specs from Office to documentation platforms
• Blog Migration: Convert drafts written in Word to Markdown for blogging platforms

Tips for Best Results

• Use Document Styles: In Word, use Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. for proper Markdown conversion
• Keep Formatting Simple: Stick to bold, italic, headings, and lists for best results
• Clean Your Data: Remove unnecessary formatting before conversion
• First Row as Header: For Excel, make sure the first row contains column headers
• Review Output: Always check the Markdown output and make manual adjustments if needed
• Save Images Separately: Extract images from documents manually if you need them
