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.
