How to convert TEX to DOCX
- Add your .TEX 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
- The
.docxoutput uses Word's default fonts and page layout, not your LaTeX typesetting - the result is a working draft, not a visual copy of the compiled PDF. - Simple equations usually convert to Word's native math format (OMML), but complex multi-line environments like
alignorgatherand heavy\newcommandmacro use may be dropped or misrendered. - Figures included as PDF via
\includegraphicsoften do not appear in the.docx; convert them to PNG or JPEG before converting the document.
Frequently asked questions
Does the DOCX look like the compiled PDF?
No - the
.docx contains the same text and structure but uses Word's default styling. For a visual replica, convert the compiled PDF to .docx instead, though that also sacrifices clean editability.My `.tex` file uses many custom commands - will they convert?
Standard LaTeX commands convert well; heavy use of custom
\newcommand macros may be dropped silently. Expand or simplify complex macros before converting if clean output matters.Do I need the supporting files (images, `.bib`) to convert?
Only the
.tex file is required for a basic conversion. Supply the .bib file for bibliography entries, and convert any PDF figures to PNG or JPEG so they embed correctly.Can I convert a DOCX back to TEX?
Pandoc can run
pandoc file.docx -o file.tex, but the result is plain LaTeX without your original preamble or packages - useful for extracting text, not for recovering the original source.
