Questions

How do I convert DOTM to MD?

Drop your DOTM 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 DOTM 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 DOTM files at once?

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