About this format

Word's format since Word 2007. Internally it is several XML files inside a zip — rename it .zip and it opens. Standardised as ISO 29500 in 2008.

What it can hold

  • Paragraphs, tables, images, headers, footnotes
  • Styles and a table of contents
  • Tracked changes and comments
  • Embedded fonts (optional)

What it cannot

  • A fixed page appearance — line breaks shift with the program and fonts that open it

When you convert it

DOCX → PDFAlmost nothing is lost, but it can no longer be edited. Made on a machine without the fonts, it prints in substitutes.
DOCX → TXTAll formatting, tables and images are gone; only words remain.
DOCX → HTMLStructure survives; page margins and headers become meaningless.
DOCX → HWPTables and images mostly survive; Hangul-specific formatting is approximated.

When it will not open

  • Actually a .doc with a .docx extension — a pre-2007 Word file
  • Broken zip — truncated in transfer
  • Password-protected

In one line Need just the words, or a word count? Use txt. Need it to arrive looking exactly as sent? Use pdf.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a DOCX file?

Drop the file into the window, pick the target format, and download the result. No account required.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in your browser. A Windows installer is available separately if you prefer one.

What if the format I want isn't listed?

Every engine's capabilities are merged into a single graph, so unlisted pairs are chained automatically through intermediate formats along the least-lossy route.
