DOCX to Markdown Conversion FAQ
How do I convert DOCX to Markdown?
+
Drop your DOCX file onto the upload area. PDF.to reads the source structure and writes an equivalent Markdown document you can download immediately. DOCX is Office Open XML, the format Word has produced by default since 2007 and an ISO standard since 2008.
Will styles, headings, and lists survive the DOCX to Markdown conversion?
+
Yes. Heading levels, paragraph styles, ordered and unordered lists, and inline formatting (bold, italic, links) are mapped to Markdown equivalents.
Do tables in my DOCX come through correctly in the Markdown?
+
Yes — tables are reconstructed as native Markdown tables with row, column, and merged-cell structure intact.
Will images embedded in my DOCX stay embedded in the Markdown?
+
Yes, at original resolution and position. Inline images, floated images, and image-in-table cells all carry over.
Does the converter preserve track-changes and comments?
+
Yes when both DOCX and Markdown support them. If Markdown has no comment model, comments become inline annotations or are stripped — your choice in the options panel.
Can PDF.to batch-convert many DOCX files at once?
+
Yes — drag a folder onto the page. Each DOCX becomes a separate Markdown, all delivered as a ZIP.
What is the largest DOCX file I can convert?
+
The free plan has a size limit that varies by file type; PRO allows much larger files. Documents that large usually have heavy embedded images.
Will hyperlinks and cross-references in the DOCX stay working in the Markdown?
+
Yes. URLs, internal cross-references, footnotes, and bookmarks are all mapped to their Markdown equivalents.
Is the DOCX to Markdown converter free?
+
Yes, for documents within the free size limit. PRO accounts get larger files, faster processing, and batch ZIP delivery.
Does PDF.to keep my DOCX content?
+
No. Uploaded DOCX files and converted Markdown outputs are deleted from our servers within an hour. Conversion runs in an isolated worker.
Why does my Markdown look slightly different from my DOCX?
+
Different document formats have different default fonts, margins, and pagination rules. We preserve content faithfully; minor visual differences in fonts or page breaks are expected.
Can I convert DOCX to Markdown on a phone or tablet?
+
Yes. The whole conversion runs in your browser — upload your DOCX, get the Markdown back, no app to install.
