Limitations

DOCX to Markdown preserves headings, paragraphs, lists, links, and basic tables best. Complex page layouts, floating images, comments, tracked changes, macros, headers, footers, and custom Word styling may not translate cleanly into Markdown.

Privacy note

DOCX conversion runs in your browser with local parsing when supported, so ordinary documents do not need to be sent to FastConvertTools for conversion. Review the Markdown before sharing because hidden Word metadata may become visible as plain text.
