DOCX to Markdown Converter — Free & Offline
Convert Word documents to clean Markdown in your browser. No upload, no account. Your files stay on your device.
How it works
- Open the Import page and select your .docx file.
- Lexon converts it locally using Mammoth.js—headings, lists, tables, and links map to Markdown.
- Edit the result in the editor, add LaTeX or code blocks if needed, then export to MD, HTML, or PDF.
Why convert DOCX to Markdown?
Markdown is plain text with simple formatting. It works in any editor, version control system, or documentation platform. Converting Word to Markdown gives you:
- Portability—no vendor lock-in
- Better diff and merge in Git
- Future-proof format
- Easier editing in code editors
Lexon handles the conversion in your browser. No server upload. No signup. Your documents never leave your device. For more on Word-to-Markdown workflows, see our guide.
What gets converted?
Headings and lists
Word headings become #, ##, ###. Bullet and numbered lists become - and 1. syntax.
Tables and links
Tables are converted to Markdown pipe tables. Links and images become [text](url) and .
Limitations
Complex layouts, embedded objects, and some Word-specific features may not convert perfectly. For most documents—reports, notes, docs—the result is clean Markdown.
