Convert Word Documents to Markdown — Safely & Instantly

Need to extract text from a .docx file for documentation, a README, or an AI prompt? Uploading your Word document to an online converter means exposing your content to third-party servers. DragKit converts Word to Markdown entirely in your browser. Your documents stay private, and the conversion takes less than 2 seconds.

🔒 Privacy-First Conversion

Your Word documents never leave your device. Unlike Google Docs converters or online DOCX-to-MD tools, DragKit has no backend. Your contracts, proposals, and reports stay on your computer.

🖼 Image Extraction

DragKit extracts all embedded images from your .docx file and packages them into a downloadable ZIP. Perfect for migrating Word documents to static site generators like Hugo, Jekyll, or Docusaurus.

📊 Structure Preserved

Headings (H1-H6), bold, italic, bullet lists, numbered lists, and tables are all faithfully converted to proper Markdown syntax. The output is clean, readable, and ready for any Markdown-compatible platform.

Word to Markdown FAQ

Does it support .doc files (old Word format)?

DragKit supports .docx files (Word 2007+). The older .doc format is a proprietary binary format that requires server-side processing. If you have a .doc file, open it in Word or LibreOffice and save it as .docx first.

Are tables preserved correctly?

Yes. DragKit converts Word tables into standard Markdown pipe tables (| col1 | col2 |). Complex merged cells may need minor manual adjustments, but most standard tables convert perfectly.

Can I convert multiple Word files at once?

Yes! Drag multiple .docx files onto the dropzone, or select them all with the file browser. DragKit processes them sequentially and combines the output.

Is this good for creating GitHub README files?

Absolutely. Many developers write documentation in Word first, then need to convert it to Markdown for GitHub READMEs, wikis, or documentation sites. DragKit produces GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) that renders perfectly on GitHub.

Why is the output different from my Word formatting?

Markdown is a plain-text format — it doesn't support colors, custom fonts, or complex layouts. DragKit focuses on preserving the semantic structure (headings, lists, emphasis) which is what matters for documentation and AI prompts.
