Your privacy
Information collected
TL;DR: This application is entirely client-side. No information ever leaves your computer or is sent to any server during document conversion.
Information you provide
When you upload a document, it is processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. The document contents are never transmitted to any server or third party. All conversion happens locally on your device.
Information collected automatically
- On word2md.com: 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.
- On word2md.com: When a conversion finishes, the site records a single anonymous count — whether it succeeded and the page’s language — so we can answer one simple question: is anyone still using this, and is it worth continuing to maintain and improve? This is not used to track or profile you. It contains no document content, no filename, no file size, and nothing that identifies you or your device — only that a conversion happened. Your document still never leaves your browser.
- When self-hosted: No analytics or tracking of any kind are included when you run the application locally or self-host it (the conversion count is sent only on word2md.com).
How information is used
- Documents you upload are converted to Markdown entirely on your device and never leave your computer.
- Anonymous usage statistics (when using word2md.com) 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 when using word2md.com.
