# Word and Google Docs to Markdown

Copy text in Word, Google Docs, Outlook or any web page and paste it here. Headings, lists, bold, links and tables become clean Markdown, ready for an AI chat, GitHub, Obsidian or Notion.

This page has an interactive tool that runs in the browser. Open it at https://dehumanize.eu/tools/word-to-markdown/

## How it works

### Copy in your document

Select the part you need, or everything, and copy it.

### Paste here

The formatting travels along on the clipboard and is converted on this page.

### Copy the Markdown

Edit the result if you like, then copy it or download a .md file.

## Questions

### How do I convert a Word document to Markdown?

Open the document, select the part you need or everything with Ctrl+A, copy it and paste it into the box. The formatting travels along on the clipboard and is converted on this page.

### Do I need to upload the .docx file?

No. You paste the content and the conversion happens in your browser. The document never leaves your computer.

### What about images?

Pictures inside a document do not come along as usable files when you copy text, so they are left out. Text, structure and tables are kept.

### Does it handle Google Docs?

Yes. Google Docs marks bold and italic text with styles instead of tags. The converter recognises those and writes proper Markdown.
