Word to Markdown Conversion FAQ
How do I convert Word to Markdown?
+
Drop your Word file onto the upload area. PDF.to reads the source structure and writes an equivalent Markdown document you can download immediately.
Will styles, headings, and lists survive the Word 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 Word 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 Word 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 Word 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 Word files at once?
+
Yes — drag a folder onto the page. Each Word becomes a separate Markdown, all delivered as a ZIP.
What is the largest Word file I can convert?
+
100 MB on the free plan, 5 GB on PRO. Documents that large usually have heavy embedded images.
Will hyperlinks and cross-references in the Word stay working in the Markdown?
+
Yes. URLs, internal cross-references, footnotes, and bookmarks are all mapped to their Markdown equivalents.
Is the Word to Markdown converter free?
+
Yes for documents under 100 MB. PRO accounts get larger files, faster processing, and batch ZIP delivery.
Does PDF.to keep my Word content?
+
No. Uploaded Word 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 Word?
+
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 Word to Markdown on a phone or tablet?
+
Yes. The whole conversion runs in your browser — upload your Word, get the Markdown back, no app to install.
