Windows app · Word templates

Your company's template. AI's content. Every field filled in.

Point MarkdownWord at the .docx or .dotx your organization already uses. The cover page, headers, footers, and styles stay exactly as designed. Your Markdown flows into the body, and {placeholders} anywhere in the template are filled from the document's frontmatter or a quick dialog.

# Executive summary

Throughput rose 18% after the
pilot. Three findings stand out:

- Pick errors fell by half
- Night shift needs one less lift
- Payback in under 14 months

2 · Your Word template

3 · Finished Word document

Keeps everything you designed

Cover page, headers, footers, text boxes, and page layout come straight from your template. The content lands in the body and uses the template's own Heading and Normal styles.

Placeholders fill themselves

Put {client}, {date}, or any {key} anywhere in the template. Values come from frontmatter or a dialog — always ask, ask only for missing values, or never ask. Anything missing is flagged after export.

Twenty reports, one template

Bulk convert runs a set of Markdown files through the same template. Enter shared values once, or file by file. Cancel, and nothing is saved.

Windows app · Custom style profiles

Control every detail Word lets you control.

The built-in profiles get you started. In the Windows app you build your own — down to the color of a table border — and link a profile to a template so the right look is picked automatically. Sizes and spacing are in points, just like in Word.

Headings

  • Font, size, and color for each level, H1–H6
  • Space before and after
  • First # as Word's Title style
  • Promote heading levels per document

Body, quotes, and links

  • Body font, size, and paragraph spacing
  • Blockquote style
  • Link color, bold, italic, and underline
  • HTML underline, highlight, subscript, and superscript carry over

Tables

  • Header row background, text, and borders
  • Body row shading and borders
  • Cell margins and vertical alignment

Lists and code

  • Space before lists and between items
  • Spacing for nested lines
  • Code font and background

Page and document

  • Paper size: Auto, A4, or Letter
  • Turn --- into a page break, or leave it out
  • Frontmatter becomes Word document properties
  • Optional title page from the same fields

Profiles and templates

  • Save as many profiles as you need
  • Link a profile to a Word template
  • Pin a save folder per profile

See the profile editor and template manager in the screenshots below.

What it does

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Four capabilities covering the full markdown-to-Word workflow.

No upload, no server

Your document never leaves your machine. All conversion runs in the browser using the docx library — zero network requests for your content.

Style profiles

Three built-in profiles — Word Classic, Report, and Modern. Control headings, fonts, and spacing. The Windows app lets you save your own profiles too.

Mermaid & LaTeX → Word

Mermaid diagrams are rendered on your machine and embedded as images, and LaTeX math becomes Word equations — directly in your .docx. No copy-paste, no external tools.

Desktop app

Offline desktop app

The Windows app works without internet. Images, Mermaid, LaTeX math, PDF export, bulk convert, and Word template support included. A compact window that fits a laptop screen, with a progress bar that shows each step of the export. One-time purchase, no subscription.

Windows

How it works

Three steps. Ten seconds.

No configuration required. Sensible defaults out of the box.

Step 1

Paste your markdown

Paste anything — a ChatGPT answer, a GitHub README, a file from Obsidian or VS Code. Any valid markdown works.

Step 2

Choose a style

Pick a built-in profile — or, in the Windows app, your own profile or Word template. Headings, body text, and spacing are handled — no Word styles to wrestle with.

Step 3

Download your .docx

Click Convert. A properly formatted Word document downloads directly to your machine. Open it in Word, edit it, share it.

Why Markdown and Word belong together

Markdown is how AI communicates. These guides explain the format, its quirks, and how to get the most out of it.

Guide
What is Markdown — and why AI uses it

The plain-text format behind almost every AI response. What it is, why it matters, and what "Markdown-aware" really means for your workflow.

Mermaid diagrams in Markdown

How AI interfaces break Markdown

Copy from ChatGPT and you get broken tables, missing code fences, or garbled formatting. Here is why — and what you can do about it.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Mark Angel, the markdownheaven mascot, thinking.
How do I convert a ChatGPT answer to Word?

Click the Copy button under the answer in ChatGPT, paste it into the MarkdownWord web app, pick a style, and click Convert. A .docx file downloads with real Word headings, lists, and tables. Selecting and copying the text by hand often drops headings and code blocks, so use the Copy button when you can.

Does it work with Claude, Copilot, and other AI tools?

Yes. MarkdownWord converts any Markdown, so output from Claude, Copilot, Gemini, or any other assistant that answers in Markdown works the same way. So do README files and notes from Obsidian or VS Code.

Is the web app free?

Yes. The web app at app.markdownword.com is free, with no account and no sign-up. It converts Markdown to .docx with the built-in style profiles.

Is my document uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, and the Windows app runs on your own machine. Your text is never sent to a server. If your Markdown links to images on the web, the Windows app downloads those images to put them in the document.

Do tables and code blocks survive the conversion?

Yes. Tables become real Word tables, code blocks keep a monospace font, headings map to Word heading styles, and nested lists stay nested. Strikethrough and HTML tags such as underline, highlight, subscript, and superscript carry over too.

Are images included in the Word file?

In the Windows app, yes. PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, SVG, and WebP images are embedded in Word and PDF, whether the file sits next to your Markdown, uses an absolute path, or is a web link. The web app does not embed images yet.

What does the Windows app add?

Your own Word templates (.docx/.dotx) with {placeholders}, images in Word and PDF, custom style profiles, Mermaid diagrams, LaTeX math as Word equations, PDF export, bulk convert, and offline use. It costs $19.99 once, with a 15-day free trial. After the trial, basic conversion stays free.

Can I use my company's own Word template?

Yes, in the Windows app. Add your .docx or .dotx template once. MarkdownWord merges the converted content into it and keeps the cover page, headers, footers, and styles. You can save several templates and set a default.

How do template placeholders work?

Write {key} anywhere in the template, for example {client} or {date} on the cover page or in the footer. MarkdownWord fills each one from the Markdown file's frontmatter or asks you in a dialog. You choose whether it always asks, asks only for missing values, or never asks. Bulk convert can ask once for all files.
