# DOCX to Markdown

> A browser-based Word-to-Markdown converter and an open-source JavaScript/TypeScript library by EigenPal. Convert DOCX to Markdown, images, and layout-derived page data in Node.js or a browser.

Package: @docx-editor.dev/docx-to-markdown (verified version 2.19.1).
Install: npm install @docx-editor.dev/docx-to-markdown @docx-editor.dev/core

The conversion library uses Apache 2.0. The interactive editor demo includes separately licensed Pro review UI. Browser conversion processes document bytes locally; fallback fonts can require network requests. Input must be .docx, not legacy .doc. Markdown does not reproduce every Word layout detail. Page breaks depend on fonts and document features. Next.js Edge is not supported.
