freesabaiHTML / Word / Google Docs to Markdown
Copy from Word, Google Docs or a web page and paste into the left box: Markdown comes out at once, with headings, bold, nested lists, tables, links and code. You can also paste HTML source or open a .html file. It runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
Getting the tool ready…This tool needs JavaScript. If you still see this after a few seconds, JavaScript is switched off in your browser or the page did not load completely: turn JavaScript on or reload the page.
How to use it
- Open the document in Word or Google Docs (or a web page), select the text and press Ctrl+C (Mac: ⌘+C).
- Click the left box and press Ctrl+V. The tool takes the formatted HTML from the clipboard and the Markdown appears on the right (or paste HTML source, or choose a .html file).
- Pick the heading and bullet style you like, then Copy or Download .md.
Good to know
- The output is GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM): headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, pictures, nested lists, tables, code (with the language from a class such as
language-js), quotes, rules and line breaks. - Colours, fonts, sizes, underline and layout have no Markdown, so they are not kept. Merged table cells become empty cells; a table inside a table becomes text.
- Pictures keep their address. Pictures embedded in the document (data URIs) are removed and counted. Pictures from Word usually point to a temporary file on that computer, so add them again later.
- Scripts, styles, comments and the head are dropped; Word's formatting junk (mso-*, o:p) and the Google Docs wrapper are cleaned, and Word lists come back as lists.
- The HTML is read by our own reader: nothing in it is opened or run, and broken HTML is converted as far as it can be read.
- For the other way, use Markdown to HTML.

Questions and answers
How do I turn a Word or Google Docs document into Markdown?
Open the document, select the text and press Ctrl+C, then click the left box here and press Ctrl+V. The Markdown appears at once, with headings, lists and tables.
Why are the pictures from Word missing?
Pictures copied from Word usually point to a temporary file on that computer, and embedded pictures are too long for Markdown. Save them as files and link them yourself.
Where did colours, fonts and underline go?
Markdown has no such formatting, so only the structure is kept: headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, pictures, lists, tables and code.
