Will the .docx open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and Pages?

Yes. The output is standards-compliant Office Open XML (.docx) — the same format Word 2007+ uses. Google Docs imports it directly via File → Open, and Apple Pages opens it natively on macOS and iOS.

What flavor of Markdown does it accept?

GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM), the same dialect ChatGPT, Claude, and Obsidian output. That includes headings, bold/italic, lists, links, images, tables, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, and task lists. The conversion runs through an industry-standard pipeline so even nested structures land correctly in Word.

Are images in my Markdown embedded in the Word file?

Images referenced by relative paths are not bundled into the .docx (the converter only sees the .md file you upload). Images referenced by absolute URLs are embedded if reachable. To bundle local images, host them somewhere and use HTTPS URLs in your Markdown, or paste image data inline.

Does it apply Word styles I can restyle later?

Yes. Headings use Word's built-in Heading 1–6 styles, paragraphs use Normal, lists use List Bullet and List Number. Restyle the whole document by editing the style definitions in Word's style pane — exactly how a native .docx behaves.

Is there a size limit for the Markdown file?

Anonymous users can upload up to 10 MB, free accounts up to 20 MB, and Pro up to 50 MB. Markdown is plain text so this covers very long documents — a 5 MB .md file is roughly a 500-page book.

Do I need pandoc installed to convert .md to docx?

No. This page is a browser-based alternative for the markdown to docx workflow — you don't install pandoc, don't manage a reference.docx template, and don't run anything from a terminal. Upload the .md, get the .docx back. If you already use pandoc locally and just want a quick one-off conversion without firing up the CLI, this is the shortcut.

My Markdown came from ChatGPT or Claude — will tables, code blocks, and headings survive the convert to Word step?

Yes. LLM output is essentially GFM, which is exactly what the converter expects. Pipe tables become real Word tables with borders and header rows, fenced code blocks keep their monospace formatting, and the heading hierarchy lands on native Word Heading styles. Paste the assistant's reply into a .md file, upload, and you get a .docx that a colleague can edit immediately.

Is .md the same as Markdown? A colleague (or an LLM) gave me a .md file and I need it in Word...

Yes — .md is the standard file extension for Markdown, a plain-text format that uses simple symbols (# for headings, * for bold, ``` for code) instead of hidden formatting bytes. If you can open it in Notepad or TextEdit and see readable text with those symbols, it's Markdown. Upload it here and you get the equivalent .docx with real Word styles applied.
