Word to Typst

Word to Typst turns a .docx into Typst source you can compile. It keeps the document structure, converts Word equations to Typst math, and extracts embedded images so they travel with the text.

Use it when

• a coauthor drafted in Word and the work continues in Typst;
• you want editable Typst rather than a Word file attached to a project;
• you are trying Typst with a document you already have.

Keep working in Word while Track Changes or review comments are still open. The conversion doesn’t keep revision history.

Convert the document

1. Open Word to Typst, or run /word-to-typst.
2. Choose a .docx file up to 128 MB.
3. Choose Convert.
4. Read the Typst source. Images from the document are extracted into an assets/ folder that goes with it.
5. Save the result, or choose Create project to open it as a Typst project. Then compile it. When the document has images, the save button reads Save ZIP and keeps them with the source.

The bundled Pandoc does the conversion on your device. Headings, paragraphs, emphasis, lists, links, tables, footnotes, and Office Math equations map into Typst.

What to check

Text boxes, floating shapes, complex tables, custom numbering, tracked changes, and comments may be simplified or dropped. Accept or reject tracked changes in a copy of the document before you convert it. After converting:

1. Compare every equation and table with the original.
2. Check that each image appears where it should, with the right caption.
3. Pick a Typst template and apply its layout.
4. Rebuild citations from reliable metadata rather than the text Word displayed.

You can also start from the library: Import a project → Word document creates a Typst project in one step. For a LaTeX destination, use Word to LaTeX.
