Convert DOC to ODT.
Turn a legacy Word 97-2003 document into OpenDocument Text, the native format of LibreOffice and an open ISO standard.
Archive old documents openly
If you are clearing out an archive of Word 97-2003 files, ODT is a durable, documented format that any office suite can open.
What carries across
Styles, tables, lists, images, headers and footers carry across through LibreOffice, which has read DOC files for decades.
Size change
ODT is compressed, so it is usually smaller than the original DOC.

Common questions
Is it free?+
Yes. Convert DOC to ODT free. No signup and no watermark. Free covers 10 server conversions a day, up to 100 MB a file. Pro removes the daily limit and raises the file limit to 2 GB.
Is my file private?+
Your file is uploaded to a private bucket, converted on our own engine, and auto-deleted after 1 hour. It is never sent to a third-party converter.
Why move a DOC to ODT?+
DOC is a closed binary format that newer software supports less and less. ODT is an open standard, so the document stays readable in the long term without depending on one vendor.
Are macros kept?+
No. Word macros are not carried into the ODT.
