Export Markdown to Word (.docx)

To turn a Markdown file into a Word document on your Mac, open it in Unmarked and choose Export (⇧⌘E), then Word. You get a real .docx, built on your Mac, with Word heading styles, bulleted and numbered lists, tables, equations, clickable links, and embedded images. It opens cleanly in Word and stays editable.

Export to Word

1. Open your Markdown file in Unmarked.
2. Press ⇧⌘E, or choose File ▸ Export.
3. Pick Word (.docx).
4. Choose where to save, then click Export.

Open the result in Word, Pages, or Google Docs and start editing.

What carries over

In the .docx:

• Headings use Word's built-in Heading 1 to 6 styles, so the document outline and navigation pane work, and you can restyle every heading at once.
• Bulleted and numbered lists are real Word lists, with nesting intact. Hit Enter and Word continues the list.
• Tables are real Word tables you can edit cell by cell.
• Links are clickable.
• Local images are embedded in the file, so the .docx travels on its own with nothing to relink.
• Math becomes real Word equations you can edit in Word.
• Code blocks come out colored, using the language named on the opening fence.
• A rendered Mermaid diagram comes across as an embedded image.

Text comes out at standard document sizing, in Word heading styles and Unmarked's fixed export style with its own code colors, whatever theme or fonts you use on screen.

Heads up: footnotes ([^1]) carry into the .docx as plain text. A web-linked image (https://…) lands as its alt text, while an image sitting next to your file embeds in the document. (Here's why.)

Need Word formatting in an email or chat instead?

If you're pasting into Mail, Slack, Google Docs, or Notion rather than handing off a file, skip the export. Select your text and press ⌥⌘C to Copy as Rich Text. What arrives is formatted text with none of the Markdown symbols.
