Frequently asked questions
- It's a genuine OpenXML Word document built with the open-source docx library. Headings, bold, italics, lists, tables, code blocks, blockquotes, and links become native Word elements — so it opens cleanly in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice, not just as styled HTML.
- No. The Markdown is tokenized and the .docx is generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored — safe for confidential reports and contracts.
- Headings (H1–H6), bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, ordered and unordered lists (including task lists), GitHub Flavored Markdown tables with alignment, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and links. Images are noted as placeholders since embedding binary images from arbitrary URLs is out of scope for client-side conversion.
- Yes — use the DOCX to Markdown tool for the reverse direction. Together they let you round-trip between Markdown and Word for review cycles with non-technical stakeholders.
- It produces a real .docx with native styles, costs nothing, requires no account, and never uploads your file. For most reports, READMEs, and documents, the output is equivalent — and your data never leaves your device.
