Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert older Microsoft Word .doc files?

No. The converter strictly supports modern .docx files. If you have an older .doc file, open it in Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice and save it as .docx first.

Will complex tables and floating page layouts look identical?

The in-browser engine is designed for text, headings, and standard paragraphs. Complex multi-column layouts, floating shapes, and macro-driven templates may format differently than in desktop Word.

Can I convert password-protected Word documents?

No. Password-protected documents must have their password removed before converting.

Is my Word document kept private?

This tool processes the file in your browser using the site's client-side engine. Documents are converted entirely in your local browser session and are never uploaded to an AllMorph server.
