Questions

How do I convert DOCX to MD?

Drop your DOCX file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the MD downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the document editor.

Is my DOCX file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.

Can I convert several DOCX files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every MD inside.
