DOC is Word’s binary format from 1997–2003. DOCX (2007+) is a ZIP of XML files — more compact, less corruption-prone, and the only format many modern tools fully support.
Some online tools, mobile apps and collaboration platforms reject or mishandle legacy .doc files. DOCX works everywhere and enables features like co-authoring.
The file is processed in your browser and automatically deleted right after — usually within minutes, never shared, never stored.
Everyday formatting converts cleanly. Extremely old documents with exotic macros or WordArt may simplify slightly — check the result.
Yes — the DOCX to DOC tool downgrades to Word 97–2003 format when a legacy system demands it.
