Printdown

Any document to Markdown

Drop a Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, EPUB, OpenDocument, RTF or CSV file. It is converted locally with WebAssembly — nothing is uploaded.

Your file is processed in this tab and never sent to any server.

How to convert Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel to Markdown

  1. Choose the file

    Drop your DOCX, PDF, PPTX, XLSX file on the box above, or click the box to pick it from your device.

  2. Let it convert locally

    The file is converted in your browser with WebAssembly, usually in a second or two. The first time, the converter engine is downloaded once.

  3. Review the Markdown

    Check the result in the text box and edit it there if you need to.

  4. Copy, download or make a PDF

    Copy the Markdown, download it as a .md file, or open it in the editor to export a styled PDF.

Supported formats

Good to know

  • Files up to 50 MB are supported. Everything happens in this tab, so very large files depend on your device’s memory.
  • PDFs must contain real text. Scanned pages are images and need OCR, which is not available in the browser.
  • Password-protected and DRM-protected files cannot be read: remove the protection first.
  • Turn on “Include images” to keep the pictures from Word, PowerPoint, EPUB and OpenDocument files; otherwise they are replaced by their alt text.
  • The result is GitHub-Flavored Markdown, ready for a README, a wiki, a static site generator or a prompt for an AI assistant.
