DOCX to MD Converter
Convert DOCX files to MD free in your browser — no signup, no install, and the file is never uploaded to a server. MD opens almost anywhere, so the result works where DOCX did not.
What changes in this conversion
- MD stores text only, so images, tables, fonts, and layout from the original are not carried over.
- MD opens almost everywhere, so the converted file will work on devices and programs that refused the original DOCX.
How to use
-
Add your DOCX file
Drag the DOCX file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.
-
Confirm MD as the output
MD is already selected as the output format on this page. Only the options this format actually supports show up, such as a page range or sheet selection.
-
Run the conversion
Press the convert button. Processing happens on your own device, so the time depends on your computer rather than a server queue.
-
Download the MD file
When it finishes, download the MD file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions
Is converting DOCX to MD really free?
Yes. DOCX to MD conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.
Are my DOCX files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the DOCX file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.
Why does my MD file lose the images and layout?
MD is a plain text format — it stores characters only. Images, tables, fonts and page layout from the DOCX file cannot be represented and are dropped.
Does the MD file get bigger than the DOCX?
It can go either way. Both formats are lossless, so nothing is thrown away — the size difference comes from how each one packs the same data.
Is there a file size limit for DOCX to MD conversion?
The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
