Why convert TXT to MD?
- The destination format may support comments, fixed layout, or print output more directly.
- The result can be checked in the app where it will actually be used.
- Markdown may be easier to edit, share, print, or archive than the source text document.
- The target format can improve compatibility with an office suite, reader, or client that rejects the source.
Will quality change?
Text may become editable, but page breaks and spacing can differ from the original. Review the output before sharing it. Keep the source if you may need to adjust the conversion later.

When not to convert

- Do not overwrite the source; keep both versions until the output has been approved.
- Avoid repeated lossy conversions when quality matters; start from the highest-quality source available.
