Question 1

What file formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

Currently only .docx (Microsoft Word Open XML format) is supported. The .doc legacy binary format and .odt (LibreOffice) are not supported. Most modern versions of Word, Google Docs (exported), and LibreOffice save to .docx by default.

Question 2

What formatting is preserved?

Accepted Answer

The converter preserves headings (H1-H6), bold and italic text, ordered and unordered lists, hyperlinks, and basic tables. Images are noted with a placeholder but are not embedded in the Markdown output.

Question 3

Is the file uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Conversion uses the Mammoth.js library which runs entirely in your browser. Your document never leaves your device, making this safe for confidential documents.

Question 4

Why does the output look different from my Word document?

Accepted Answer

Word documents support rich formatting that has no Markdown equivalent, such as fonts, colors, indentation, and page layout. Mammoth.js converts only semantic structure. Complex formatting like nested tables or text boxes may not convert perfectly.

Question 5

How large a file can I convert?

Accepted Answer

There is no enforced limit. Large documents may take a second or two to process but conversion is handled entirely in memory in the browser.
