How image extraction works
When Mammoth can read an embedded Word image, the converter writes a relative Markdown reference such as images/image-01.png and prepares a ZIP with the extracted files.
What to check after conversion
- Move the images folder next to your Markdown file.
- Rename image files if your docs site needs descriptive names.
- Review warnings for unsupported image formats.
Image support is format dependent
Most standard PNG and JPEG images work. Complex shapes, charts, SmartArt, and linked remote images may need manual export from Word.

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.
