How to convert DOCX to ODT

  1. Add your DOCX documents

    Drop DOCX (Word) 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.

  2. ODT is already chosen

    Press Convert and confirm the upload. The file is sent to the ToAny conversion server, converted to ODT and removed afterwards.

  3. Download

    Save the ODT, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Honest about uploads

    Browsers cannot convert DOCX to ODT reliably, so this pair runs on our server. You are asked before anything is sent, and the page says so plainly.

  • Removed afterwards

    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 account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark on the result.

DOCX to ODT: what to expect

A DOCX can look different on another computer, and not everyone has a word processor. ODT is an open standard that LibreOffice and OpenOffice use natively. DOCX is at home in documents that will be edited again; ODT is the usual choice for documents in open-source office suites.

DOCX vs ODT

DOCX

Word document

DOCX 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.

ODT

OpenDocument text

ODT is the open-standard document format used by LibreOffice Writer and OpenOffice. Word and Google Docs can open it, though complex formatting does not always survive the trip.

Questions

Is my DOCX file uploaded?

Yes, for this conversion. Browsers cannot convert DOCX to ODT 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.

Is anything lost when converting DOCX to ODT?

Text is kept. Formatting carries over only as far as ODT supports it.

Can I convert several DOCX files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert DOCX to ODT on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

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 DOCX file, press Convert and save the ODT. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Files sent to the conversion server are capped in size, and the page tells you when a file is too large to upload.
