- Add your .FODT file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .DOC in a few seconds.
- Download your new .DOC file.
What to expect
- Text, paragraph styles, and tables convert reliably; complex fields and embedded macros may need manual fixes after conversion.
doctargets Word 97-2003 - if the recipient uses any modern Office version, exporting to.docxis a better choice that preserves more features.- Images are stored as base64 XML inside FODT and carry over intact into the converted
.docfile.
Frequently asked questions
Should I convert to .doc or .docx?
Use
.docx unless the recipient is on very old software that explicitly rejects it - .docx preserves modern formatting better and is the standard Word format today.Why won't Microsoft Word open my .fodt file directly?
Word does not register the
.fodt extension, so rename the file to .odt first - the XML content inside is identical and Word will open it without issues.Will my images survive the conversion?
Yes - images embedded in an FODT file are stored as base64 XML and are extracted and embedded correctly into the
.doc output.What is the difference between .fodt and .odt?
Both hold the same OpenDocument content;
.fodt stores it as a single uncompressed XML file while .odt is a compressed ZIP archive containing the same XML files.
