# Markdown to DOCX Converter
Convert Markdown to DOCX online with depapel. Paste Markdown into the editor,
upload a `.md` or `.markdown` file, or import Markdown from a GitHub, GitLab, or
Bitbucket file URL, then download a Word-compatible document.
## How it works
1. Paste Markdown, upload a file, or load a Git file URL.
2. Choose a document theme such as GitHub, VS Code, Dracula, Nord, Solarized, or
Monokai.
3. Click DOCX to download a Word-compatible document.
## What the DOCX includes
- GitHub-flavored Markdown tables, task lists, links, and images.
- Syntax-highlighted fenced code blocks.
- Eight document themes with matching code highlighting.
- Mermaid diagrams rendered into the document.
- Opt-in page breaks with ``.
- Opt-in page numbers with ``.
## Review and handoff fit
DOCX is the format most office editors and review workflows already understand.
Use it when the writing starts in Markdown but the feedback loop happens in Word
or another DOCX editor.
## Honest scope
depapel exports Markdown structure into DOCX for editing and review. It does not
claim Word template automation, mail merge, or advanced equation layout.
## Output proof for client review
The tracked proof samples below use the same Markdown source for PDF and DOCX,
so you can inspect tables, Mermaid diagrams, code blocks, page numbering, and
handoff-ready formatting before exporting your own document.
