Convert WPS to DOCX.
A .wps file is a Microsoft Works document — from software retired in 2009. Convert it to a modern Word DOCX you can actually open and edit in Word, Google Docs or Pages.
Get your old documents editing again
Microsoft Works shipped on a lot of home PCs as the budget alternative to Office, and it saved documents as .wps. When Works was discontinued in 2009, those files were marooned — readable by almost nothing today. Converting to DOCX brings them back into a living format you can keep working in.
DOCX or PDF?
Choose DOCX when you want to edit the document; choose PDF when you only need to read or print it. Either way, the content is finally out of a dead format.

Common questions
Why can't Word open a WPS file directly?+
Microsoft Works used its own format, and modern Word dropped the converter that used to import it. LibreOffice still ships the reader, so we use it to translate the document into DOCX that Word understands natively.
Is it free?+
Yes — convert WPS to DOCX free, with no signup. Paid plans add larger files and batch.
Is my file private?+
Uploads go to a private bucket, are converted, and auto-delete after 1 hour. Files never touch a third-party converter.
What if I just need to read it?+
If you don't need to edit, convert to PDF instead — it's the simplest way to view and print the content.
