Will the .docx open in Microsoft Word?

Yes. The file is a standard Office Open XML document — the same format Word saves. It opens without a repair prompt in Word, and also in Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer and Apple Pages.

Do my tables survive?

Yes. A Markdown table becomes a real Word table, and the column alignment from the separator row (left, centre or right) is applied to each cell.

What happens to images?

An image reference becomes a text placeholder like [Image: alt text], and the count is shown after conversion. Downloading the image would mean contacting another server, which this tool never does.

Is there a size limit?

500,000 characters, which is a very long document. The limit exists so the browser stays responsive while the document is built.

Is my document uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser. You can disconnect from the internet and the tool still works.

Markdown to Word, done in your browser

A real Word file, not HTML in disguise

Some converters wrap your HTML in a container that only Microsoft Word knows how to render. This builds genuine Word structure instead: a heading is a real Heading style, a table is a real Word table, a link is a real hyperlink. That is why the result opens cleanly in Google Docs and LibreOffice too.

What carries over

Headings one through six, bold, italic and both together, strikethrough, inline code and fenced code blocks, ordered and bulleted lists including nested ones, task list checkboxes, tables with their column alignment, blockquotes, horizontal rules and links with their addresses.

What doesn't

Images are replaced with a text placeholder rather than embedded, because fetching an image would mean sending a request to another server — and nothing here touches the network. Raw HTML written inside your Markdown is skipped, since Word has no equivalent for it. Both are counted and reported after every conversion, never dropped silently.

Your text never leaves your device

The whole conversion — reading the Markdown, building the document, packing the .docx — happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and no image address in your Markdown is ever requested.
