Formats

Supported file formats

Markdown conversion is most reliable when the source file exposes structure. These notes explain what each format can usually keep, where cleanup may be needed, and how to prepare better source files.

Word documents

.doc, .docx

Useful for drafts, reports, policies, and notes that need to move into Markdown-based editors or documentation systems.

Clear heading styles and simple tables convert most reliably. Text boxes, floating shapes, and heavy page layout may be flattened.

Presentations

.ppt, .pptx

Turns slide text, speaker notes, and structured slide content into Markdown that can be reused in outlines or briefs.

Slides are not web pages, so visual placement is converted into reading order rather than exact coordinates.

Spreadsheets and CSV

.xls, .xlsx, .csv

Converts tabular data into Markdown tables where the source has a stable grid and readable cell values.

Merged cells, formulas, hidden rows, and wide worksheets may need cleanup after conversion.

HTML pages

.html, .htm

Extracts the main readable content while skipping scripts, styles, boilerplate navigation, and layout code.

Article pages and documentation pages work better than complex apps with content rendered by JavaScript.

PDF files

.pdf

Reads text, headings, lists, and tables when the PDF contains extractable text and enough layout information.

Scanned PDFs and unusual fonts may need OCR or manual review. Markdown can preserve structure, not exact page design.

Plain text and data files

.txt, .json, .xml, .zip

Keeps simple text readable and converts structured data into Markdown-friendly blocks when possible.

Nested data and archives should be reviewed after conversion so you can decide what belongs in the final Markdown file.

What Markdown will not do

Markdown is not designed to keep exact page geometry. It does not reproduce slide coordinates, PDF page boxes, spreadsheet formulas, or CSS-driven layouts. The useful output is a structured text version that can be reviewed, edited, indexed, or published somewhere else.

If a source file contains financial data, contracts, customer records, or anything sensitive, review your privacy requirements before uploading it to any public web service.
