Word to Markdown Converter

Summary

Paste any Word or rich-text content and instantly get clean, formatted Markdown output.

How it works

1. Paste your Word, Google Docs, or rich-text content into the input box on the left.
2. The converter parses the HTML clipboard data to detect formatting such as headings, bold, italic, and lists.
3. If plain text is pasted, common patterns like ALL CAPS headings and asterisk bullets are detected automatically.
4. Clean Markdown appears instantly in the output panel on the right.
5. Click "Copy Markdown" to copy the result to your clipboard.
6. Use "Clear" to reset both panels for a new conversion.
