How to convert MD to ODT

  1. Add your MD Markdown files

    Drop MD (Markdown) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. ODT is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the ODT, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The MD to ODT converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your Markdown files are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

MD to ODT: what to expect

Markdown shows its raw symbols to anyone who opens it without a Markdown-aware app. ODT is an open standard that LibreOffice and OpenOffice use natively. MD is at home in READMEs, notes and documentation; ODT is the usual choice for documents in open-source office suites.

GitHub-flavoured Markdown is understood: tables, task lists, strikethrough and fenced code blocks. The result is an OpenDocument text with the document's headings, paragraphs, lists and tables; styling from the source is not carried over.

MD vs ODT

MD

Markdown

Markdown is plain text with a few symbols for headings, lists, links and emphasis. It is readable as-is and converts cleanly to HTML, which is why developers and note-takers favour it.

ODT

OpenDocument text

ODT is the open-standard document format used by LibreOffice Writer and OpenOffice. Word and Google Docs can open it, though complex formatting does not always survive the trip.

Questions

Are my Markdown files uploaded anywhere?

No. The MD to ODT conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting MD to ODT?

Text is kept. Formatting carries over only as far as ODT supports it.

Can I convert several MD files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert MD to ODT on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the MD file, press Convert and save the ODT. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Files up to 150 MB are accepted; a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
