MarkPost
Markdown to Word Converter
Mark it up and post it — convert Word and Markdown both ways, and edit live, fully offline. It runs entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your computer.
This one has a name: MarkPost — mark it up, post it. The heading above says what it does, because that is what people type into a search box. MarkPost is what the window says when you open the file, and what to ask for by name.
Two formats that both refuse to die
Word is what the business world writes in. Markdown is what documentation systems, code repositories, static sites and note apps read. Pasting from one into the other produces either a wall of mystery formatting or a wall of plain text, and converting by hand is an afternoon.
This goes both ways. Drop a .docx on the left and the Markdown appears with a live preview on the right. Write or paste Markdown and save it back out as a Word-compatible document.
What survives the round trip
Headings, bold, italic, lists, tables, links, blockquotes and code all carry across in both directions. Going out to Word specifically: nested lists keep their levels, numbered lists keep the number they actually start on, table column alignment is preserved, and task-list checkboxes keep their ticked state.
Footnotes become real Word footnotes — a superscript marker in the body and the note at the bottom of the page, which Word can then renumber like any other footnote. That is the difference between a converted document and a usable one.
Two deliberate behaviours that look like bugs
HTML inside Markdown is shown as literal text, not applied. A <b> tag arrives as the characters <b>. This is on purpose: Markdown files frequently carry HTML intended for a web page, and silently interpreting it produces surprises in a Word document. HTML comments are the exception and are stripped.
Images embed only from data URIs. An image written as a file path —  — comes through as its alt text. That is not really the tool being limited; it is the browser's security model. A page opened from your own disk cannot read other files sitting next to it, which is also why file associations need a real program rather than a web page.
Questions
Common questions
What does this tool do?
It converts Microsoft Word documents (.docx) into Markdown, and converts Markdown back into a Word-friendly document — keeping headings, bold, lists, links, and tables.
How do I convert a Word document?
Drag your .docx file onto the left side and the Markdown appears, with a live preview on the right. Then copy or save the result.
Can I change the file name?
Yes. The document name at the top of the window is editable — click it and type. It holds the base name only, so Save as adds the right extension for you (.md, .docx, or .html). This also means a document you typed or pasted in can be named before you save it, instead of downloading as an untitled file.
Why convert Word to Markdown?
Markdown is plain text, so it works cleanly in code editors, documentation systems, websites, and note apps — places where pasting from Word brings messy formatting. This gives you clean structure instead.
What formatting carries over?
Headings, bold and italic, lists, tables, links, blockquotes, and code all carry across. Going to Word, nested lists keep their levels, numbered lists keep the number they start on, table column alignment is preserved, task list checkboxes keep their ticked or unticked state, and a code block or table inside a list item or a quote stays where you put it. Very elaborate Word layouts may simplify on the way in, since Markdown is intentionally lightweight.
Can I include images?
Images embedded directly in the Markdown as a data: URI are placed into the Word file at their own size, shrunk only if they would run past the page margins. An image written as a file path, like , comes through as its alt text instead. That isn't really the tool's limit — when you drop a .md file in, the browser hands over that one file and nothing else, so there is no way for a page running on your own machine to reach an image sitting next to it in the folder. If you need the picture in the Word file, embed it in the Markdown as a data: URI.
Do footnotes work?
Yes. A footnote marker in the text with a matching definition line underneath becomes a real Word footnote — a superscript number in the body and the note itself at the bottom of the page, where Word can renumber it like any other footnote. The definition lines don't show up as ordinary text in the document.
What happens to HTML inside my Markdown?
HTML tags are shown as literal text rather than being applied, so a <b> tag arrives in Word as the characters <b> and not as bold. This is deliberate: Markdown files often contain HTML that was meant for a web page, and quietly interpreting it tends to produce surprises. HTML comments are the exception — they're removed, since they were never meant to be visible.
Is my document private?
Yes. Everything happens on your own computer in the browser — your document is never uploaded. That's a real difference from the web converters that require sending your file to their server.
