Convert any document to Markdown instantly
Drop a file and get clean, portable Markdown back — no upload, no server, no account. The conversion runs entirely on this machine.
How it Works
- 01
Drop File
Choose or drag any supported file straight into the browser.
- 02
It Converts
The converter runs on this machine. Your file is never sent anywhere.
- 03
Grab Markdown
Copy it, edit it in place, or download the .md — a whole batch as a zip.
Features
- BATCH
Batch Conversion
Drop a folder's worth of files. They convert one after another and download together as a zip.
- FIDELITY
Structure Preserved
Structure survives conversion, but how much — and which parts — depends on the source format. Each format page states exactly what it keeps and what it drops.
- LOCAL
No Upload, No Server
Files never leave your browser. There is no server to send them to.
- SIZE
Large Files Welcome
No size cap. Browser memory is the only limit, and you get a warning past 50 MB.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q1
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser through WebAssembly. There is no server to upload to, and the site’s Content-Security-Policy blocks scripts from sending data anywhere else.
- Q2
Is file2md free?
Yes. file2md is free, with no account, no sign-up and no file limit. It is a static site; converting costs nothing to run per file.
- Q3
Which file formats can I convert to Markdown?
12 formats: Word (DOCX), Word 97-2003 (DOC), PDF, PowerPoint (PPTX), PowerPoint 97-2003 (PPT), Excel (XLSX), OpenDocument Text (ODT), OpenDocument Sheet (ODS), OpenDocument Slides (ODP), Rich Text (RTF), EPUB, CSV. Each has its own page describing exactly what the conversion preserves and what it loses.
- Q4
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
No. A scanned PDF holds an image per page and no text, so extracting words from it requires OCR, which file2md does not include. If you cannot select text in a PDF reader, the file is a scan.
- Q5
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Your browser’s memory is the only bound, and the app warns you past 50 MB rather than refusing the file.
- Q6
Can I convert many files at once?
Yes. Drop several files or a folder’s worth; they convert one after another and download together as a zip.
