Free ODT to Word (DOCX) converter

Why convert ODT to DOCX?

People convert ODT to DOCX because ODT is LibreOffice’s format, and colleagues working in Word often cannot open it cleanly, while a DOCX can be edited, tracked and commented on by anyone with Word.

How to convert ODT to DOCX

1. Choose your ODT file. Drop it on the box above, or tap to browse. You can pick several files at once.
2. Confirm the target is .docx. It is preselected when your browser can encode it; otherwise the closest available target is chosen. Adjust quality, size or the other options if you want to.
3. Convert and download. Press Convert, then Download. Your file stays on your device the whole time.

What is a .odt file?

ODT is the open standard used by LibreOffice and OpenOffice Writer, and an ISO standard in its own right. It carries the same kinds of structure as DOCX — headings, lists, tables, pictures — and Word can open one, though formatting occasionally shifts.

What is a .docx file?

DOCX is Microsoft Word's format. It describes a document by its structure — paragraphs, headings, lists, tables, images — and lets Word decide the layout, which makes it the right choice for anything still being written or edited. Underneath it is a ZIP archive of XML.

What to expect from this conversion

Headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, lists, quotes, tables and embedded pictures are all carried across. Exact page layout, fonts and multi-column arrangements are not — and a scanned PDF holds no text at all, so there is nothing to extract without OCR.

Is it private?

Yes, by design. Every conversion happens inside your own browser using your device’s processor — there is no server that receives your ODT file, so there is nothing for anyone to store, scan or leak. You can confirm it yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, watch the Network tab while you convert, and you will see no upload.

Questions about ODT to DOCX

Is this ODT to Word converter free?

Yes, completely. There is no account, no daily limit, no watermark and no premium tier.

Is my ODT file uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs inside your own browser using your device's processor. The file is read from your disk, converted in memory and saved back to your disk — nothing is transmitted, so there is nothing for anyone to store.

Can I convert ODT to Word online without downloading software?

Yes. This is an online ODT to Word converter that runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no app to trust with your files. It works the same on a phone.

What happens to the quality?

Headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, lists, quotes, tables and embedded pictures are all carried across. Exact page layout, fonts and multi-column arrangements are not — and a scanned PDF holds no text at all, so there is nothing to extract without OCR.

Can I convert several ODT files at once?

Yes. Select as many files as you like and they are converted one after another in a single tap, with a download for each and a zip of all of them.

Should I keep the original ODT file?

Yes — keep it, converting never touches it. The reason to make a copy in another format is that ODT is LibreOffice’s format, and colleagues working in Word often cannot open it cleanly.
