What file types does this tool accept?

Only .docx files (Word 2007 and later) are supported. Older .doc formats and other file types will be rejected with an error message.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes, files up to 10MB are accepted. Most Word documents fall well within this limit unless they contain many large embedded images.

How are headings handled during conversion?

Paragraphs styled as Heading 1 or Heading 2 in Word are mapped to # and ## ATX-style Markdown headings respectively, preserving your document structure.

What do the conversion warnings mean?

Warnings indicate Word features that could not be fully converted, such as tables, text boxes, or custom styles. The Markdown is still generated, but those elements may need manual adjustments.

Can I download the converted Markdown file?

Yes. After conversion you can copy the Markdown to your clipboard or download it directly as a .md file ready to use in any project.
