QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert BLOWER to DOCX?
No - not a direct conversion.

The .blower extension is appended by the STOP/Djvu ransomware to files it has encrypted; it says nothing about the content type. You cannot turn it into a Word document. The only realistic path is to decrypt the file back to whatever it originally was - and if that original happened to be a Word document, it will reopen as .docx on its own.

Why convert BLOWER to DOCX?

STOP/Djvu renames every encrypted file with .blower, whether it was a photo, a spreadsheet, or a document. Because the bytes are scrambled with Salsa20, no converter can read them, and expecting a .docx out of an encrypted blob is a category error - you first have to unlock it.

How to convert BLOWER to DOCX

Emsisoft Decryptor for STOP Djvu FREE

Right-click decrypt_STOPDjvu.exe, choose Run as administrator, pick the affected folder and click Decrypt. If the file was encrypted with an offline key Emsisoft holds, it is restored to its original document, which reopens in Word if it was a .docx.

Restore from backup or Windows File History FREE

If decryption is impossible, recover the untouched original document from an external backup, cloud storage, or a Windows restore point predating the infection, then open it in Microsoft Word.

Quality & what to watch

  • Only about 70% of victims can be helped - files locked with an online key remain unrecoverable without the criminals' private key.
  • Even when decryption works, Emsisoft warns recovered files are not guaranteed to be 100% identical to the originals.
  • The decryptor unlocks files but does not remove the malware; run a separate antivirus first so files are not re-encrypted.

Frequently asked questions

Can any converter turn .blower into .docx?
No. The data is encrypted, so no file converter can read it - it must be decrypted back to its original form first.
How do I know if my file was originally a Word document?
The original name is usually kept before the .blower suffix, e.g. report.docx.blower, so stripping .blower reveals the original type.
Should I pay the ransom?
Security experts strongly advise against it - payment funds crime and offers no guarantee you receive a working key.
Will Emsisoft's tool definitely work?
Only for offline-key infections. Run the tool to check; it reports whether your key is known.
