How do I convert a Google Doc or Word document to Markdown?

Select the content in Docs or Word, copy it, switch to the Paste rich text tab and paste. Headings, bold, italics, lists, links and tables are converted to Markdown immediately.

Is my content uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs in your browser with the open source Turndown library. Nothing is sent to a server.

Are tables converted?

Yes. HTML tables become GitHub Flavored Markdown tables, along with strikethrough and task lists.

HTML to Markdown converter

Paste HTML source, or paste formatted text straight from Google Docs, Word, Notion, Confluence or a web page. You get clean GitHub Flavored Markdown with headings, lists, links, code and tables.

What gets converted

Headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code and links
Bulleted, numbered and task lists, including nesting
Tables as GitHub Flavored Markdown tables
Code blocks with the language when the source marks it
Images as ![alt](src) and blockquotes as >

Layout markup such as wrappers, inline styles, fonts and colours is dropped, which is usually what you want when moving content into a README, a wiki or a static site.

Common workflows

Google Docs to Markdown: select all, copy, paste into the rich text tab.
Web page to Markdown: select the article text in the browser and paste, or view source and paste the HTML.
Notion or Confluence export: paste the HTML export file contents into the HTML source tab.

Need to go the other way? Write in the MeowMD editor and use Copy HTML, or read a Markdown file in the viewer and copy it as rich text.
