Hello DEV community!
I’m excited to finally share a project that has been living in the back of my mind for a very long time.
Three days ago, I launched MD-To.com, a free online Markdown converter.
But the story actually starts about two weeks ago. I finally decided to stop procrastinating and just build the thing. To speed up the process, I used Cursor paired with Claude Opus 4.5. The development velocity was insane—what felt like a month’s worth of work got compressed into just a fortnight.
The Launch & The Pivot
I registered the domain and pushed the site live just 3 days ago.

What can it do?
The goal was simple: a converter that respects your privacy (no server uploads) and covers all the edge cases developers need.
Here are the current features:
Privacy First: Everything happens locally in your browser. Your files never hit my server.
Markdown to "Anything": Convert MD to Word (.docx), PDF, HTML, LaTeX, and even Confluence Wiki syntax.
Reverse Conversion: Turn HTML or Word docs back into clean Markdown.
Data Tools: Convert CSV or JSON directly into Markdown Tables (and vice versa).
Editor: A built-in editor with real-time preview.
100% Free: No login, no watermarks, no limits.
I need your feedback
Since I just finished the redesign, I am looking for honest feedback from other developers.
Is the UI intuitive?
Are there any file formats you wish it supported?
Did you find any bugs in the conversion logic?
Please give it a try at https://md-to.com/ and let me know what you think in the comments. I’m ready to fix bugs and add features based on your suggestions!
Thanks for reading!
