Convert DOCX images into Markdown references
When the DOCX package contains readable PNG or JPEG images, the converter writes relative Markdown paths and prepares a ZIP download for the extracted files.
Image workflow
- Download the Markdown file and the image ZIP after conversion.
- Keep the extracted images folder next to the Markdown file.
- Rename images before publishing if your docs site needs descriptive filenames.
Check unsupported Word image objects
Charts, SmartArt, linked remote images, and complex drawing objects may not extract cleanly from DOCX. Review the conversion warnings before publishing.

Frequently asked questions
Does DOCX to Markdown image extraction include OCR?+
No. The converter extracts embedded image files when the DOCX format exposes them. It does not read text inside screenshots, charts, or scanned images.
Can I use base64 images in the Markdown output?+
The default output uses relative image paths because they work better in GitHub, MDX, and documentation repositories.
Are Word files uploaded to a server?+
The converter is designed to process DOCX files in your browser. Analytics events never include file names, document text, or converted Markdown.
Can it convert old .doc files?+
The first version supports .docx files. For older .doc files, open them in Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice and save a .docx copy first.
Will the Markdown look exactly like the Word file?+
No. The converter prioritizes clean semantic Markdown over exact visual layout, so spacing, fonts, and page-specific styling are simplified.
