DOCX to Markdown API
Turn Word documents into clean Markdown: the format language models, docs sites and Git repositories read best.
How it converts
pandoc converts DOCX to Markdown.
- The output is GitHub-flavored Markdown without raw HTML and without hard line wraps, so it is easy for people and agents to read.
- Headings, lists, tables, links and emphasis are kept. Fonts, colours and page layout are dropped.
- Images are not included: the output is a single text file.
Questions
- Is the output good for feeding to an LLM?
- Yes. It is plain GitHub-flavored Markdown with no raw HTML or hard wraps, which keeps it short and structured.
- What happens to images?
- They are not included, because the output is a single text file.
