Keep the Markdown as the source of truth. Regenerate the Word file when it changes rather than editing both.

  return `Hello, ${name}`;

Frequently asked questions

Which flavour of Markdown does it understand?

GitHub-flavoured Markdown — tables, fenced code blocks, task lists, strikethrough and autolinks behave the way they look on GitHub. That is what most READMEs and docs are written in.

Will headings become real Word styles?

Yes. A line that starts with ## becomes Heading 2 in the .docx, so Word’s navigation pane and an automatic table of contents both work. The on-page preview mirrors that structure so you can check it before downloading.

What happens to images?

Images referenced by a path on your machine are not pulled in, because the tool only sees the Markdown text you paste or upload, not the folder around it. Add those images in Word afterwards, where you can size and place them properly.

Can I edit the Word file and convert it back?

Not with this tool, which goes one way. Round-tripping between Markdown and Word is lossy in both directions, so keep the Markdown as the original and regenerate the .docx when it changes.

Is there a size limit?

Around half a million characters of Markdown, which is far larger than a typical README or report. Past that the browser has to hold the source, the preview and the Word file at once, and a dedicated converter is a better fit.
