We built the converter
we wished existed
Every other tool we tried either broke our formatting, uploaded our documents to servers we knew nothing about, or tried to charge us for something that should be free. So we built our own.
The problem with other tools
We write a lot of technical documents in Markdown — specs, proposals, API docs, reports. When colleagues or clients need a Word file, every tool we tried left us frustrated.
The conversion quality was consistently bad. Tables would arrive as walls of raw HTML. Numbered lists would render with italic numbers. Headings would look right but carry zero Word styling — meaning no navigation pane, no table of contents, no meaningful document structure.
Worse, most of these tools upload your files to a cloud server you know nothing about. For casual documents that's inconvenient. For contracts, client proposals, financial reports, or anything with personal information, it's unacceptable. The terms of service were full of vague language about "improving our services" — which is code for retaining your data and doing something with it.
We wanted a tool that did one thing well: convert Markdown ↔ Word ↔ PDF, correctly, with no server involved, for free. We built it. You're using it now.
What we saw — and why we disagreed
What most tools do
- Most converters upload your document to a server — you have no control over who sees it or how long it's retained
- Many 'free' tools monetise your document content or sell usage data to third parties
- Conversion quality is poor — tables arrive as raw HTML, list numbers go italic, headings lose their Word styles
- Some require creating an account or entering a credit card just to use a 'free' tier
- Files are retained on remote servers for hours, days, or weeks after conversion
- Low free usage caps, forced upsells, and misleading 'unlimited' plans that aren't
What we do instead
- All conversions run entirely in your browser — no server ever receives your document
- No account, no sign-up, no email address — open the page and convert immediately
- Files are never stored anywhere — close the tab and they're gone completely
- We cannot read your document content — it never leaves your device
- Safe for confidential contracts, legal briefs, medical records, and internal documents
- Free forever — no usage caps, no credit card, no upsells
How it works technically
Why "private by default" is architecture, not a promise
When you convert a document, the conversion libraries — mammoth.js for reading Word files, the docx library for generating them, and markdown-it for rendering — are bundled and run directly in your browser. Your document is processed by JavaScript running on your own machine.
There is no backend server that receives your file. There is no API call that sends your content anywhere. The page even works offline once it has fully loaded — because everything it needs to do its job is already on your device.
This isn't a privacy policy claim. It's how the software is built. We physically cannot receive your files because the code that processes them runs on your machine, not ours. That's the only kind of privacy guarantee worth making.
Our privacy commitments
No cloud processing
Your document never touches a server. Conversion runs 100% in your browser using local JavaScript libraries.
No data retention
We store nothing. Close the tab and your document is gone — from memory, from disk, from everywhere.
No surveillance
We don't track what you convert, when you convert, or what's in your documents. Your content is yours.
Try it yourself
No account, no upload, no data shared. Open a converter and see for yourself.
