About the formats
MD
Markdown
Markdown is a lightweight markup language that turns a few simple symbols in plain text into headings, lists, links and bold text. GitHub, Notion and many note apps use it.
DOCX
Microsoft Word (Office Open XML)
DOCX is the document format Microsoft Word has used since 2007. It holds headings, tables, images and formatting, and Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages open it too.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting Markdown to Word free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
