Markdown to Word & Rich Text Converter

Paste the markdown your AI writer gave you and copy it as formatted rich text that pastes correctly into Medium, LinkedIn, Gmail, and Google Docs, instead of landing as plain unformatted text. Export a real .docx, or convert a Word file back into clean Markdown.

Copy Rich Text for Medium, LinkedIn, Gmail, Notion, and Google Docs — formatting pastes in directly. Copy Markdown for Dev.to, GitHub, Hashnode, and Substack, which read raw markdown natively.

Fixes the actual problem

Medium, LinkedIn, and Gmail don't parse markdown syntax — they read HTML off the clipboard. Copy Rich Text writes both, so bold, headings, and links survive the paste.

Works both directions

Markdown to rich text or .docx — or a .docx file, or rich text pasted from Google Docs, Word, or any webpage, back to clean Markdown for Dev.to, GitHub, or Hashnode.

Private by default

Every conversion runs in this browser tab. No file is ever uploaded, no account, no server-side storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my formatting disappear when I paste markdown into Medium or LinkedIn?

Those editors don’t interpret markdown syntax like ** or # — they only render formatting that arrives as HTML on the clipboard. Pasting raw markdown text pastes the literal characters. “Copy Rich Text” writes both HTML and plain text to your clipboard, so the paste lands formatted instead of as plain text.

Does this tool upload my file or content anywhere?

No. Markdown rendering, rich-text clipboard copying, Word (.docx) generation, and Word-to-Markdown conversion all run entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, and no account is required.

How long a document can I convert?

The tool is tuned and tested for posts up to about 7,000 words. Longer documents still convert, but the live preview and Word export may take a little longer to generate.

What should I use for Dev.to, GitHub, or Substack instead of Copy Rich Text?

Use “Copy Markdown” instead. Dev.to, GitHub, Hashnode, and Substack read raw markdown syntax natively, so pasting the rich-text version there isn’t necessary and the plain markdown works as-is.

Can I convert a Word document or pasted rich text back into Markdown?

Yes. Switch to the “Rich Text & Word to Markdown” tab. Drop in a .docx file, or click the box and paste content copied from Google Docs, Word, Notion, or any webpage (Ctrl+V). The tool extracts headings, bold/italic text, links, lists, and tables into clean Markdown, including bold/italic from Google Docs, which doesn’t use standard HTML formatting tags.

Do images carry over into the Word export?

Images referenced by an external URL aren’t embedded in the generated .docx, since the tool never fetches or uploads anything over the network. The tool flags this after export so you know to add images manually in Word.
