About the formats
Markdown — Markdown
Markdown is a plain-text format that marks structure with simple punctuation — # for headings, ** for bold, - for lists. It has become the native output format of the AI era: ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and coding agents all write Markdown, GitHub renders it, and note apps like Obsidian store everything in it. A .md file is just text, which is why it opens in any editor but looks unformatted without a renderer like this one.
Word — Microsoft Word document (.docx)
DOCX is Microsoft Word's document format — a ZIP archive of XML that stores text with named styles such as Heading 1 and Body. Because the styles are semantic, a well-built .docx keeps its outline in Word's navigation pane and reflows cleanly when edited. It is the format to hand to anyone who works in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice, all of which open it natively.
Frequently asked questions
Is this safe? Do my files get uploaded?
No upload happens — ever. Converting Markdown to Word runs entirely inside your browser. Your documents never leave your device, nothing is stored on any server, and the tool keeps working if you go offline after the page loads. That's also why there are no file size limits, no queues and no sign-up.
Does the .docx use real Word heading styles?
Yes — Markdown headings map to Word's built-in Heading 1–6 styles, not just big bold text. That means your document outline appears in Word's navigation pane, the styles can be restyled document-wide in one click, and a table of contents can be inserted in Word with References → Table of Contents.
Will tables and code blocks survive the conversion?
Yes. GitHub-flavored Markdown tables become native Word tables with a styled header row. Fenced code blocks keep a monospaced font, a light background shading and their syntax-highlighting colors, so technical documents stay readable after the handoff.
Should I download the .docx or use Copy for Word?
Download the .docx when you need a file to attach or archive — it's the most faithful path. Use Copy for Word when you're already writing inside a Word or Google Docs window and just want the formatted content on your clipboard, ready to paste mid-document.
Why does pasting Markdown into Word show # and ** symbols?
Word doesn't interpret Markdown — it treats the punctuation as literal text, which is why a pasted AI answer looks like a wall of # signs and asterisks. Converting here first turns that markup into actual Word formatting: real headings, real bold, real lists and real tables.
What is a Word file?
DOCX is Microsoft Word's document format — a ZIP archive of XML that stores text with named styles such as Heading 1 and Body. Because the styles are semantic, a well-built .docx keeps its outline in Word's navigation pane and reflows cleanly when edited. It is the format to hand to anyone who works in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice, all of which open it natively.
Is there a file size or quantity limit?
There is no hard limit. Server-based converters cap uploads because your files consume their bandwidth and CPU; here the work happens on your machine, so the only practical limit is your device's memory. Even book-length documents convert in seconds — text is light work for a modern browser.
