AI document review
Convert Word documents into Markdown before asking AI for summaries, rewrites, missing sections, or action items.
Documentation migration
Move Word-based content into Markdown-friendly docs, notes, and knowledge bases.
RAG preparation

Word to Markdown Output
The goal is clean document structure, not a pixel-perfect copy of Word page styling.
Headings and paragraphs
Readable document text is converted into Markdown sections and paragraphs for easier review.
Lists and structure
Bullets and numbered lists are kept where the source file exposes them cleanly.
Links where extractable
Links can remain useful when the source document contains link information the converter can read.
Tables where possible
Simple extractable tables may become Markdown tables; complex layouts can need cleanup.
Word to Markdown Limits
Word layout features can be complex: tracked changes, embedded media, exact styling, and page layout may need cleanup.
Limit
DOCX is the supported Word input. Older .doc files should be saved as .docx first.
Limit
Complex page layout, tracked changes, embedded media, exact styling, and comments may not be preserved.
Limit
The converter prioritizes readable Markdown text over high-fidelity Word layout reproduction.
