DOCX to DOC

Some older computers, job portals and government systems still only accept the classic DOC format. Convert your DOCX file so it opens in Word 97-2003 and in software that does not support DOCX.

How to convert DOCX to DOC

1. Upload your DOCX file.
2. Click Convert.
3. Download the DOC file.

DOCX to DOC features

• Compatible with Word 97, 2000, XP and 2003.
• Keeps text, tables, images and most formatting.
• No Microsoft Office needed.

DOC and DOCX: what is the difference?

DOCX, introduced with Word 2007, stores the document as compressed XML files, which makes it smaller and easier to repair. DOC is the older binary format used by Word 97 to 2003. Modern Word opens both, but some older programs, embedded systems and upload forms still only read DOC. Keep your original DOCX as the master copy and use the DOC version only where it is required.
