A tool for importing from Google Docs that doesn’t suck (Mammoth .docx converter)

I was tired of WordPress’s crappy editor so I decided to write a post in Google Docs instead.

However, when copying the content back in. All the images I carefully added did not carry back over. After trying several terrible options (Seraphinite Post .DOCX Source, WordPress.com for Google Docs, docswrite.com — this didn’t work when I tried but seems to function fine after going back and forth with their CEO) I finally tried out Mammoth and it just works which is great.

  1. Add a post
  2. Look for the Mammoth .docx converter box at the bottom
  3. Upload your file
  4. Wait for it to parse
  5. Click on Insert into editor
  6. And then wait for it to finish adding all the content into the editor (my docx took a few minutes since it had quite a few high resolution images)
