What it does

Markitdown is a Python tool that converts files and office documents to Markdown format.

When to use it
  • You need to convert large numbers of Word documents to Markdown for a wiki or documentation project
  • Your team wants to migrate from Google Docs to a Markdown-based workflow
  • You're building a static site and need to convert existing office documents to Markdown for content
Ready-to-paste prompt
python -m markitdown.convert --input sample.docx --output output.md --format markdown
Heads up: Markitdown requires Python 3.8 or later to run, and you may need to install additional packages like `python-docx` or `openpyxl` depending on the types of documents you're converting
