Why convert ODT to DOCX?

Tips for the best result
- Headings, lists, tables and images are converted to their Word versions.
- Check documents that use special fonts; if the font is not installed on the other computer, Word shows a substitute.
- Track changes and comments are carried over in most documents.
Common problems and fixes
- The layout moved slightly.
- LibreOffice and Word calculate line and page breaks a little differently. Small spacing changes are normal; check page breaks before printing.
- The file will not convert.
- Password-protected ODT files cannot be opened. Remove the password in LibreOffice first.

Frequently asked questions
Can Word open ODT files directly?
Recent versions of Word can, but layout and some features may not come through well. DOCX is the safer format to send.
Is ODT to DOCX free?
Yes, with no sign-up or watermark.
How do I convert ODT to DOCX?
Click Select File or drop your ODT file onto the upload box. The converted DOCX appears in the list below with a download button. You can add many files at once and download them together as a ZIP.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark. To keep the service available for everyone there is a 95MB limit per file and a cap on how many files one connection can process in a short period.
Are my files stored?
Your upload is used only to make the converted file. Images are processed in memory; other files are written to a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes. Nothing is kept after the result has been sent back.
Will quality drop?
For images, a little, by design: the image is re-encoded at the Quality you choose (default 75%). Audio and video are re-encoded with high-quality settings; documents keep their text and layout as far as the target format allows. Converting never restores detail that is already missing from the original.
How this works: your file is uploaded over HTTPS and converted on this server with open-source engines (libvips for images, FFmpeg for audio and video, LibreOffice and Pandoc for documents, Calibre for ebooks, Ghostscript and Inkscape for PDF and vector files). Images are processed in memory; other files use a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes.
