← MDifying document to Markdown converter
A .docx file already contains real structure, so this is the most faithful conversion MDifying does: headings, bold and italic, ordered and unordered lists, and tables all map onto their Markdown equivalents directly.

Word documents store what a paragraph is — Heading 2, list item, table cell — rather than only where it sits on the page. MDifying reads that structure directly instead of inferring it from font sizes, which is why headings come out right even in documents with unusual styling.
If you have a choice between exporting a document as PDF or as DOCX before converting, choose DOCX.
Markdown has no concept of page layout, so text boxes, headers and footers, exact fonts, colours and column layouts are dropped. Comments and tracked changes are not included either. MDifying reports how many formatting details it could not represent, so you know when a document lost something.
The older .doc format is not supported. Open it in Word and re-save it as .docx first.
