How to convert ODT to DOCX
- Add your .ODT file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .DOCX in a few seconds.
- Download your new .DOCX file.
What to expect
- Macros do not transfer - LibreOffice Basic macros have no Word VBA equivalent and are silently dropped.
- Complex layout elements such as text boxes anchored to specific positions, cross-reference fields, and custom list styles are the most common sources of formatting shifts.
- Plain text, paragraph styles, tables, embedded images, and page layout convert reliably; any loss is limited to features the target format cannot represent.
Frequently asked questions
Will my images survive the conversion?
Yes. Embedded images transfer intact and are not recompressed.
Why did my formatting change after converting?
The two formats handle certain features differently - text frames, complex table borders, and custom list styles are the most common sources of layout shifts in otherwise clean documents.
Can I convert multiple ODT files at once?
Yes. With LibreOffice installed, run
soffice --headless --convert-to docx *.odt in the folder containing your files to batch-convert them all.Is Microsoft Word required?
No - LibreOffice Writer and Google Docs both convert
.odt to .docx for free without a Word licence.Programs that convert ODT: Microsoft Word · AbiWord · Atlantis Word Processor · IBM Lotus Symphony · TextMaker · Microsoft WordPad · NeoOffice · KWord
