About this tool
Bring a Word document into GitHub, a static site, Obsidian or any notes app that uses Markdown. Tables become proper Markdown tables, nested lists keep their levels, and footnotes stay footnotes. Pictures can come out as separate files beside the Markdown, so your document stays short and readable.
Common questions
Which kind of Markdown do I get?
GitHub-style Markdown. Tables and struck-through text use the common extensions, so it works on GitHub and most notes apps.
What happens to merged table cells?
Markdown tables can't merge cells, so a merged cell's text goes in its first column and the others are left empty.
Is it free to use?
Yes. There's no sign-up, and nothing is added to your file unless you ask for it.
What happens to my files?
Your files are only used to run the tool you chose, and they're deleted automatically after about 24 hours.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It all works in your browser, on any computer or phone.
