Feature Matrix and Downloads
Download formats, feature support across destinations, and known limitations for Unmarkdown exports.
Download Formats
Pro plan users can download documents as files directly from the editor, in addition to clipboard-based exporting. Three download formats are available:
Client-side print-to-PDF. Opens your styled document in a new window with template CSS, Google Fonts, and KaTeX CSS, then triggers the browser's print dialog. Save as PDF from there. The output preserves your template's full visual design including colors, fonts, and layout.
Word (.doc)
Downloads a .doc file wrapped in a Word-compatible HTML envelope with Microsoft Office XML namespaces. Uses the same rehype-word pipeline as the clipboard "Copy for Word" destination, so the fidelity is identical. Template colors, fonts, headings, tables, and other formatting are all preserved.
HTML
Downloads a standalone HTML file with embedded template CSS, a Google Fonts <link> element, and KaTeX CSS. Open it in any browser to see your document exactly as it appears on the published page. Useful for offline viewing, archiving, or hosting on your own server.

Limitations
Some limitations apply across destinations:
- Clipboard exports use the destination's native formatting; downloads preserve the full template design
- Complex table layouts (many columns, wide content) may overflow in some destinations
- Raw HTML blocks in your Markdown are passed through for HTML-based exports but stripped for Slack and Plain Text
- Very large documents may take longer to process for PDF downloads
- Chart.js charts are rendered as static images, not interactive charts, in all export formats
