Question 1

Does Markdownly preserve headings and formatting from Word?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Markdownly converts Word headings, bold, italic, bullet lists, and numbered lists into their Markdown equivalents. The document structure is preserved — you get clean, readable text with the same hierarchy as your original file.

Question 2

How do I convert a Word document for ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude?

Accepted Answer

Upload your .docx file to Markdownly and click convert. You'll get clean Markdown in seconds that you can paste directly into any AI chatbot. No sign-up needed, no software to install.

Question 3

What happens to images, track changes, and comments in my Word doc?

Accepted Answer

Images are stripped from the output — Markdownly focuses on extracting text content since AI chatbots work best with text. Track changes, comments, and revision history are also removed. You get only the final text content, without the metadata noise that wastes AI tokens.

Question 4

Is my Word document data kept private?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Your file is encrypted during processing and permanently deleted immediately after conversion. Zero data retention — your documents are never stored, logged, or used for any other purpose.

Question 5

How large can my DOCX file be?

Accepted Answer

Markdownly supports Word documents up to 10 MB. Most documents — reports, proposals, essays, manuals — are well within this limit.
