Frequently asked questions

Are track changes and comments included?
No — the converter reads the document's final text content, not revision history or comment threads. Accept or reject changes in Word first if you need the final version reflected.
Do embedded images come through?
Image files themselves aren't converted to Markdown; the surrounding text, headings and structure are extracted as usual, so you'll get clean text even if a document is image-heavy.
What about nested or multi-level lists?
Nested bullet and numbered lists are preserved with their indentation, so multi-level outlines keep their structure in the Markdown output.
Why convert to Markdown?
Markdown is clean, lightweight plain text that works everywhere — GitHub, Notion, Obsidian, wikis and static sites — and is easy to edit and version-control. It's also the format AI models read best: converting PDFs, Word or slides to Markdown makes them token-efficient and ready to paste into ChatGPT/Claude, feed into a RAG pipeline, or build a knowledge base.
Is Markdown Please free?
Yes — 100% free, with no sign-up and no limits. Convert as many files as you like.
Are my files stored or shared?
No. Files are converted on the spot and discarded immediately — never stored, shared, or used for anything else.
Which file formats are supported?
PDF, Word (DOCX), Excel (XLSX), PowerPoint (PPTX), HTML, CSV, JSON, XML, TXT, MD and IPYNB.
Can I convert a web page or online file?
Yes. Paste any public http/https URL in the “From URL” tab and it will be fetched and converted to Markdown.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes — up to 25 MB per file.

Why convert Word (DOCX) to Markdown?

Word documents carry a lot of formatting baggage that doesn't belong in a wiki, a README, or an AI prompt. Markdown Please converts your .docx file's headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and links into clean Markdown — no styles, no clutter.

Great for turning specs, reports, meeting notes or documentation drafted in Word into something you can commit to Git, paste into Notion or Obsidian, or feed into an AI tool.

No install, no sign-up — your file is converted in your browser and discarded immediately. Markdown is also the format AI models read best, so it's the ideal bridge between Word and ChatGPT or Claude.

What is a Word document (DOCX)?

DOCX is Microsoft Word's format for text documents — it stores your writing along with fonts, styles, and layout information. Most of that formatting isn't meaningful outside of Word itself, so Markdown Please extracts just the structural parts — headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and links — and leaves the rest behind.

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight way to write formatted text using plain characters — a "#" for a heading, a "-" for a list item, brackets and parentheses for a link. It looks almost like plain text but renders as proper formatting anywhere that understands it: GitHub, Notion, static site generators, and AI chat tools all read it natively.
