Why convert DOCX to Markdown?

Markdown is lightweight, version-control friendly and supported by GitHub, Notion, Ghost, Docs-as-Code platforms and static site generators. This workflow helps you move stakeholder-approved Word files into your CMS without reformatting by hand.

  • Preserve heading structure, bullet lists, tables and inline styling.
  • Remove Word-specific XML cruft for cleaner diffs in Git.
  • Ship blog posts, product guides and release notes faster.

  3. Download the Markdown file alongside assets for full documentation packages.
  4. Use canonical URLs and meta descriptions when importing into your CMS to boost SEO.
