Use the DOCX export workaround
This site does not connect to your Google account. In Google Docs, use File, Download, Microsoft Word (.docx), then upload the exported file here.
Why this approach is safer
- No Google Drive permission is required.
- The exported DOCX can be reviewed before conversion.
- The same output modes work for docs, GitHub, MDX, and AI prompts.
Clean up pasted Google Docs HTML
If you copy from Google Docs instead of exporting, paste the rich HTML into the converter area and clean it into Markdown.

Frequently asked questions
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.
