DOC conversion FAQ

What is a DOC file?

DOC is a document format created by Microsoft Word. It's the standard format for text documents, supporting rich formatting, images, tables, headers, footers, and complex layouts. DOCX files are widely used in business, education, and personal documentation.

How do I convert DOC files?

Simply upload your document file using our drag-and-drop interface or click to browse. Select your desired output format, then click Convert. Your converted file will be ready for download within seconds.

Is the document conversion free?

Yes, our document converter is completely free for basic use. You can convert documents without creating an account. Premium features are available for users who need batch conversion or advanced formatting options.

Will my document formatting be preserved during conversion?

We strive to preserve formatting as accurately as possible. Text styles, fonts, tables, images, and layouts are maintained in most conversions. Some complex elements like macros or embedded objects may have limitations depending on the target format.

What's the difference between DOC and DOCX?

DOC is the older binary format used by Microsoft Word 97-2003, while DOCX is the newer XML-based format introduced in Word 2007. DOCX files are smaller, more secure, and support modern features. We support both formats for conversion.

Can I convert my document to PDF?

What is the maximum document file size?

Free users can convert documents up to 100MB. This is sufficient for most documents, even those with many images. Premium users have access to larger file limits for extensive documents with embedded media.

Do I need Microsoft Office to convert documents?

No, you don't need Microsoft Office installed. Our converter works entirely in your browser and handles document conversion server-side. You can convert Word files even if you only have Google Docs or other alternatives.

Are my documents kept private and secure?

Absolutely. Your documents are processed securely and automatically deleted from our servers after conversion. We don't read, store, or share your document contents. All transfers use encrypted HTTPS connections.

What document formats are supported?

We support a wide range of document formats including DOCX, DOC, PDF, RTF, ODT, TXT, HTML, and more. You can convert between most common document formats while preserving text, formatting, and embedded content.
