Frequently asked questions

Can Markdown be converted to a Word document?
Yes. Paste your Markdown into the editor above and export it as a .docx file. Headings, bold and italic text, lists, links and tables carry into a Word-compatible document, with no Pandoc command line and no Python markdown-to-docx library to install.
How do I convert Markdown to Word (DOCX) online for free?
Type or paste your Markdown into this converter, then download the .docx. It is free, needs no signup, and runs in your browser, so your document is never uploaded to a server.
How do I put Markdown into Word, or paste a Markdown table into Word?
Word does not read raw Markdown when you paste it, so a heading like # Title stays as plain text. The reliable way is to convert your Markdown or Markdown table to .docx here first, then open that file in Word. The formatting and table come through intact.
Does DOCX support Markdown?
No. DOCX is Word's XML-based format and does not store Markdown syntax. To move between the two you convert: Markdown to DOCX gives you a formatted Word file, and Word to Markdown reads a .docx back into clean Markdown.
How do I open a Markdown file in Word?
Opening a .md file straight in Word shows the raw symbols rather than formatted text. Paste the Markdown here, convert it to .docx, then open that document in Word to get proper headings, lists and tables.
How do I convert a Markdown table to a Word table?
Paste your Markdown pipe table into the editor and export to .docx. The pipe table becomes a real Word table with rows, columns and a header, ready to edit in Word.
How do I convert Markdown to a Google Doc?
Export your Markdown to .docx here, upload that file to Google Drive, then open it with Google Docs. Drive converts .docx into a native Google Doc for you. Newer versions of Google Docs also have a Paste from Markdown option, but going through .docx works everywhere.
Can I convert a Word document back to Markdown?
Yes. The Word to Markdown tab reads a .docx file and produces clean Markdown using Mammoth.js and Turndown, both running in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
