Your privacy
Information collected
TL;DR: This application is entirely client-side. Your Markdown and the Word document made from it never leave your computer and are never sent to any server.
Information you provide
When you choose, drop, or paste Markdown, it is converted to a Word document entirely within your browser using JavaScript. The contents are never transmitted to this site or any third party. All conversion happens locally on your device.
If your Markdown links to images on other websites (for example ), your browser loads those images from the sites you linked, to show them in the preview and to embed them in the Word document, the same as any web page with images. Nothing else about your document is sent to them.
Information stored on your device
If you choose a document style (such as the Chinese official document preset), your browser remembers that choice in its local storage so you don’t have to pick it again. It stays on your device and is never sent anywhere.
Information collected automatically
- On md2word.app: This site uses privacy-centric Cloudflare Web Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics. Cloudflare Analytics is privacy-first and does not track individual users or use cookies.
- When self-hosted: No analytics or tracking of any kind are included when you run the application locally or self-host it.
How information is used
- Your Markdown is converted to a Word document entirely on your device and never leaves your computer.
- Anonymous usage statistics (on md2word.app) help understand general site usage patterns without identifying individual users.
How information is shared
Your documents and personal information are never shared because they never leave your device. Only anonymous, aggregated usage statistics are collected on md2word.app.
A note on security
