Markdown to Word
Paste Markdown, name your file, and download a Word document that opens in Microsoft Word, Pages or Google Docs with formatting preserved. Free and fully in-browser.
Markdown to Word, without the round-trip
Most Markdown to Word paths run your text through a server or a desktop tool like Pandoc, then hand back a file you download and reopen. This converter does the whole job in the browser: the Word document is built from your Markdown on the spot and saved straight to your downloads folder. Headings map to real Word heading styles, so the outline and navigation pane work the way an editor expects.
It is built for the moment you have Markdown from an editor, a README, or an AI assistant and someone on the team wants it in Word. Paste it in, download the file, and send it on. When those handoffs keep happening for the same document, a one-way export starts to drift from the source, which is the gap md2gd's two-way sync closes.
How to use it
- Paste or type your Markdown on the left.
- Set a file name (optional) and check the preview.
- Click “Download Word file” to save a .doc you can open in Word.
FAQ
Why is the file a .doc and not .docx?
The tool produces a Word-compatible HTML document saved as .doc, Microsoft Word, Pages and Google Docs all open it and keep the formatting, with no server round-trip. You can re-save as .docx from Word if you need that exact extension.
What formatting is included?
Headings, bold/italic, links, ordered and unordered lists, tables, code blocks and blockquotes.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Conversion and the download happen locally in your browser, nothing is uploaded.
Will it open in Microsoft Word on Windows and Mac?
Yes. The .doc is a Word-compatible HTML document, so Word on Windows, Word on Mac, Pages and Google Docs all open it and keep the styling.
Do headings become a real Word outline?
Yes. Markdown # through ###### map to Word heading styles, so the navigation pane and any auto-generated table of contents pick them up.
Converting the same doc over and over?
md2gd keeps your Markdown and the real Google Doc in two-way sync, edit in either, no copy-paste, no re-formatting.
