Convert ODT (LibreOffice Writer) to Markdown

Turns an OpenDocument Text file into Markdown, keeping headings, lists, tables and links. Everything runs inside your browser, so the file is never uploaded.

Drag & drop a file here, or click to browse

Accepts: .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, .doc, .xls, .ppt, .odt, .ods, .odp, .rtf, .epub, .csv, .pdf

Runs automatically as soon as a file is selected.

When this helps

Anyone writing in LibreOffice

The draft is .odt but the destination takes Markdown

Convert with headings and emphasis intact and paste it straight in

Anyone feeding documents to an LLM

Most chat interfaces will not accept an .odt attachment

Convert first, then paste the text in for a summary or a rewrite

Anyone receiving a file they cannot open

An .odt arrives and the recipient only has Word, which mangles the layout

Read the content as text in the browser — nothing is uploaded

Anyone collecting public documents

Material published in open formats cannot be searched with the rest of your notes

Convert to Markdown and keep it where full-text search reaches it

FAQ

Is my file uploaded to your server?
No. If your browser supports WebAssembly (WASM, a technology for running software inside the browser safely and quickly), the conversion happens entirely on your device. The 2.2MB engine loads on the first run only.
What is kept and what is lost?
Kept: heading levels, bold and italic, bulleted and numbered lists, tables, links and footnotes. Lost: images, fonts and colours, columns, headers and footers — Markdown has no way to express them.
Can it open password-protected files?
No. An encrypted .odt cannot be read, so the tool tells you it is password-protected and stops. Remove the password in LibreOffice first.
Does it support Flat ODF (.fodt)?
No. Flat ODF stores the whole document as a single XML file, which is a different format. Open it in LibreOffice and save it as a normal .odt.
Which other formats does this page accept?
.ods and .odp, .docx, .xlsx and .pptx, .doc, .xls and .ppt, .rtf, .epub, .csv and .pdf. The format is detected from the file's contents rather than its name, so a file with the wrong extension still converts correctly.
What is the file size limit?
20MB per file.
