Markdown to Word

Paste Markdown on the left and press Download. You get a .docx file that opens in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice or Pages. Headings become real Word heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2 and so on), so the navigation pane and an automatic table of contents work. Bullet and numbered lists keep their nesting, tables get borders and a shaded header row, and fenced code blocks come out in a monospace font on a grey background.

Most of the demand for this comes from answers written by ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Those answers are Markdown, and if you paste them straight into Word you see the raw symbols: ## in front of headings, ** around bold words, and tables that collapse into a single line of pipes. Converting to .docx first turns those markers into formatting, and the filename is taken from the first heading so the file is already named.

Bold, italic, inline code, links and strikethrough are preserved inside paragraphs, list items and table cells. Images are not downloaded; their alt text is kept in italics instead. Raw HTML inside the Markdown is reduced to its text. Blockquotes become indented paragraphs with a left border, and horizontal rules become a thin line.

If you need a PDF, open the .docx in Word or Google Docs and use Save as PDF or Print to PDF from there. PDFs generated directly by a browser lose heading structure, fonts and page layout, while the PDF from a word processor keeps everything. Your Markdown never leaves your browser; the file is assembled locally and offered as a download.
