Convert Markdown to Word

Paste or open a .md file and download a formatted Word document — headings, tables, lists, bold, and code carry over. Free, private, and nothing leaves your browser.

Your files never leave your browser. All processing happens locally.

How do you convert Markdown to Word?

Converting Markdown to Word turns a plain-text .md file into a formatted Word document — headings, tables, lists, bold text, and code blocks become a styled document you can open in Microsoft Word, edit, and share. This tool renders your Markdown, then downloads it as a Word-compatible file in one click, entirely in your browser.

Paste your Markdown or upload a .md file, check the live preview, and click Download Word. The result is a .doc file that opens in Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, Google Docs, and LibreOffice, with your structure preserved. It supports GitHub Flavored Markdown (tables, task lists, strikethrough, code) and never uploads your content to a server. To read and manage .md files natively on a Mac instead of converting them, MacMD Viewer renders Markdown with QuickLook, Mermaid, and live reload.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I convert a Markdown file to Word?

Paste your Markdown or upload a .md file, then click Download Word. The tool renders your Markdown and saves a Word-compatible document with your headings, tables, lists, and formatting intact. Everything happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Does it create a .doc or a .docx file?

It downloads a Word-compatible .doc file that Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, Google Docs, and LibreOffice all open as a formatted, editable document. For most Markdown-to-Word needs (reports, notes, docs) this preserves headings, tables, lists, and code without installing anything.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your Markdown never leaves your browser. All parsing and document generation happen locally on your device using marked.js with DOMPurify sanitization. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

What formatting carries over to Word?

Headings (H1-H6), bold and italic text, ordered and unordered lists, tables, blockquotes, inline code, code blocks, links, and horizontal rules all carry over. Mermaid diagrams render in the preview; complex diagrams may not embed in every version of Word.

How do I convert Markdown to Word on a Mac?

This browser tool works on any device, Mac included — paste your Markdown and download a Word document. If your goal is to read and organize .md files on a Mac rather than convert them, MacMD Viewer ($19.99 one-time) renders Markdown natively with Finder QuickLook, Mermaid, and live reload.
