Markdown to Word

Convert Markdown to a styled Word .docx.

Hand a Markdown Document to Someone Who Uses Word

Notes, READMEs and drafts written in Markdown often need to go to colleagues, clients or editors who live in Microsoft Word. Paste the Markdown or open a .md file, check the rendered preview, and download a .docx that looks like it was written in Word.

Headings become Word’s own Heading 1–6 styles, so the navigation pane and an automatic table of contents work; lists become real Word lists with proper numbering; tables get borders and a repeating header row; quotes, code blocks and inline code get their own styles, and links stay clickable. Choose the page size, typeface and text size first.

Key features

  • Real Word styles for headings, quotes and code.
  • Native bullet and numbered lists, nested levels included.
  • Tables with borders, alignment and a repeating header.
  • Clickable links, bold, italics, strikethrough and task checkboxes.
  • Live preview and A4 or US Letter pages.

Frequently asked questions

Will a table of contents work?

Yes. Headings use Word’s built-in heading styles, so References → Table of Contents builds one automatically.

What about images?

Images are noted by their alt text in brackets, because pictures linked from the web are not downloaded into the document.

Which Markdown features are supported?

GitHub-flavoured Markdown: headings, emphasis, lists, task lists, tables, quotes, fenced code, links and horizontal rules.

Does it work with Google Docs?

Yes. Upload the .docx to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs; the styles carry over.

Can I convert the Word file back to Markdown?

Save it as a web page (HTML) from Word or Google Docs, then use the HTML to Markdown tool. Headings, lists, links and tables convert back cleanly; complex Word formatting has no Markdown equivalent.
