How to convert an old Word file (DOC) to DOCX

DOC is the binary format Word used up to version 2003. It still opens, but Word shows it in Compatibility Mode, some online services handle it poorly, and it is a closed format that is harder to process.

DOCX, the standard since Word 2007, is an XML-based package: it is usually smaller, works better in Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice, and cannot contain macros. This converter upgrades your .doc files to .docx.

Step by step

  1. Click Select file and choose your .doc file (up to 50 MB).
  2. Check that Convert to shows DOCX.
  3. Click Convert DOC to DOCX.
  4. Download the DOCX and open it to check the formatting. For a whole archive of old documents, convert them all in the Workspace.

What is kept

Text, paragraph styles, tables, images, headers and footers carry over to the DOCX. The conversion is done by a Word-compatible office engine, so ordinary documents come out very faithfully.

With delicate layouts such as text boxes, WordArt, objects embedded from other programs or complex columns, check that everything is still in place.

Converting is also a good moment to tidy up an archive: once your old reports and letters are DOCX, they are easier to search, open on any device and edit in online tools without format warnings.

Macros and protected files

Macros are not run during conversion and a DOCX cannot hold them: if your .doc had macros, the result will not include them. That is one reason DOCX is safer to share.

Password-protected documents cannot be opened. If fonts look different, the original typeface is not available on the server.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between DOC and DOCX?
DOC is the binary Word 97-2003 format; DOCX is the open XML-based format Word has used since 2007.

Will Word stop showing Compatibility Mode?
Yes, once you open the DOCX you are no longer working in the old format.
Can I convert many .doc files at once?
Yes, in the Workspace, with no limit on files per batch and a ZIP download.
