About MD files
A .MD file is most commonly a Markdown Documentation file, a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz designed to be easy to read and write in plain text. These files are the standard for developer documentation (READMEs), technical writing, and note-taking apps like Obsidian.
While Markdown is excellent for version control and simplicity, sharing raw .MD files creates friction: they appear as unformatted plain text to non-technical users, images are often linked externally rather than embedded, and they do not open natively in Microsoft Word. To share your content professionally, you should convert .MD files to HTML for web publishing, PDF for fixed-layout archiving, or DOCX for collaborative editing in office suites. Note: If your file does not open in a text editor, it may be a SEGA Mega Drive ROM image used with emulators like Kega Fusion, or a Moneydance financial data file.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your MD file.
If you want to convert MD file to TXT, CSV, PPT, DOC, XLSX, ZIP, RAR or JPG, you can use Visual Studio Code or similar software from the "Formatted Text Documentation" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MP4, JPEG, MP3, GIF, DOC, PNG, TXT, WAV, PDF or JPG files to MD, try Visual Studio Code or another comparable tool in the "Formatted Text Documentation" category.
The MD Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our MD converter.
