Drop DOC files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.
Press Convert and confirm the upload. The file is sent to the ToAny conversion server, converted to DOCX and removed afterwards.
Save the DOCX, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
Browsers cannot convert DOC to DOCX reliably, so this pair runs on our server. You are asked before anything is sent, and the page says so plainly.
The uploaded file and the result are deleted once the conversion has finished. Nobody looks at them and they are not used for anything else.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark on the result.
DOC is a legacy format that newer apps and online editors handle poorly. DOCX can be edited in Word, Google Docs, Pages and LibreOffice. DOC is at home in compatibility with very old copies of Word; DOCX is the usual choice for documents that will be edited again.
DOC is the binary format used by Word 97 through Word 2003. Word replaced it with DOCX in 2007, and newer tools increasingly treat DOC as a legacy format.

DOC converterDOCX is the format Microsoft Word has saved by default since Office 2007. Inside it is a ZIP archive of XML files describing text, styles and images. Layout can shift between Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice because each lays the text out itself.

Yes, for this conversion. Browsers cannot convert DOC to DOCX reliably, so after you confirm, the file is uploaded over an encrypted connection to the ToAny conversion server, converted automatically and deleted once the conversion has finished. Most other conversions on ToAny run in your browser and upload nothing.
Text is kept. Formatting carries over only as far as DOCX supports it.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the DOC file, press Convert and save the DOCX. There is nothing to install.
Yes. Files sent to the conversion server are capped in size, and the page tells you when a file is too large to upload.
