Questions clients ask

Short answers, no sales language. If yours isn't here, ask an engineer directly.

Ask us anything
Does it keep tables and footnotes from Word?

Yes. Tables come out as markdown tables, including ones with merged cells, and footnotes are carried into the output. Headings, bold, italic, nested lists, and task-list checkboxes survive too.

Does my Word file get uploaded anywhere?

No. The converter is WebAssembly running inside your browser tab. You can load the page, go offline, and it still converts. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.

What happens to images inside the document?

The output is a single plain-markdown file, so embedded images can't be included in it. You get the complete text and structure of the document.
