Page size
Carried over
Headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, links, bulleted, numbered and nested lists, task lists, quotes, dividers, code blocks and tables.
Not carried over
Images (replaced by alt text), colours in code blocks, and raw HTML formatting.
Your text and files stay in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
How it works
- Paste Markdown or open an .md file.
- Choose A4 or Letter and press the convert button.
- The tool builds the file, reopens it to check it, and then downloads the .docx.
When it helps
- Sending a document written in Markdown to someone who works in Word.
- Turning technical notes or a report into an editable document.
- Getting a README or specification into a format that can be reviewed with comments.
What it does
- Heading levels 1 to 6, paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough and inline code.
- Bulleted, numbered and nested lists, plus task lists shown as boxes.
- Tables with a shaded header row and column alignment, quotes, dividers and code blocks in a monospaced font.
- Checked before download: the file must open, and the headings and tables must be found in it.
Good to know
Images are not embedded: each one is replaced by its alt text in square brackets, and you are told how many were replaced. Raw HTML is kept as plain text. Syntax colours in code blocks are not carried over. The check confirms that the file is a valid Word document with your headings and tables in it, but how it looks in a particular program depends on that program.
Questions people ask
- How do I convert Markdown to Word?
- Paste or open your Markdown, choose a page size and press convert. A .docx file downloads once it passes the built-in check.
- What is checked before the download?
- The tool reopens the generated file, confirms the required Word parts are present and well-formed, and confirms that the number of headings and tables matches your Markdown. If anything fails, you see an error and no file.
- Are images included?
- No. Images are replaced by their description in brackets, and the page tells you how many were replaced. Add the pictures in Word afterwards.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The file is built and checked on your device.
