How to convert Markdown to Word
- Click Open .md / .txt or drag your Markdown file onto the box — or paste the text.
- Check the preview, and set page size, text size and an optional table of contents under Document settings.
- Click Download Word (.docx).
Supported Markdown
The converter understands GitHub-flavoured Markdown (GFM): # headings, **bold**,
*italic*, ~~strikethrough~~, links, block quotes, ordered and unordered lists (nested),
task lists - [x], tables with alignment, inline code and fenced code blocks with a language, and math in
$…$ / $$…$$ or \(…\) / \[…\].
What gets converted
- Math formulas (LaTeX such as
\frac{a}{b},x^2,\sqrt{x}, sums and integrals) become real, editable Word equations — not images and not raw code. - Headings become Word Heading 1–3 styles, so the navigation pane and a table of contents work.
- Tables become real Word tables with column alignment.
- Numbered and bulleted lists, including nested lists, checklists and lists that continue after a code block.
- Code blocks in a monospace font with syntax colours (Python, JavaScript, SQL, Java, C#, and more).
- Bold, italic, strikethrough, links, quotes and horizontal lines.
Under Document settings you can pick A4 or US Letter, the text size and line spacing, and add a table of contents and page numbers.
Good for
- Handing in documentation written in Markdown as a Word file.
- Turning a GitHub
README.mdinto a document for colleagues who don't use Git. - Exporting notes from Obsidian, Notion (Markdown export), Joplin, Typora or Bear.
- Converting answers from ChatGPT and other AI assistants (see ChatGPT to Word).
Pandoc without the command line
Pandoc is the classic tool for md to docx, but it needs installing and a terminal. This page does
the common cases in your browser with one click, and keeps your files private.
