If your team standardises on LibreOffice, Google Docs or an open-source CMS, an ODT copy of a Word document is often required. This converter reads the `.docx` file in your browser, extracts the structured text and repackages it as a valid OpenDocument Text file that LibreOffice Writer opens natively.
Nothing is uploaded: the DOCX is parsed with an open-source library, and the ODT archive is generated on your device.
How to convert Word to ODT
- Select your `.docx` file.
- Review the extracted content in the preview.
- Click Download ODT to save the OpenDocument file.
What you get
- A valid `.odt` package: `mimetype`, `content.xml`, `styles.xml` and `META-INF/manifest.xml`.
- Headings, paragraphs and list items mapped to OpenDocument elements.
- UTF-8 text with special characters preserved.
- Compatibility with LibreOffice Writer, OpenOffice and Google Docs upload.
Why convert DOCX to ODT
- Open standards: ODT is an ISO-certified document format.
- Tool independence: edit the file in LibreOffice without Microsoft Office.
- Long-term archiving: plain XML inside a ZIP is easy to preserve.
- No lock-in: keep your documents portable across platforms.
Privacy
Conversion is client-side. Your document never leaves the browser, so internal policies and contracts stay confidential.
Frequently asked questions
Will the layout be identical?
Text structure and formatting semantics are preserved; pixel-identical layout depends on the fonts installed in LibreOffice.
Can I edit the ODT afterwards?
Yes - the file opens as a normal editable document in LibreOffice Writer.
Are tables and images converted?
Text, headings and lists are mapped in this version; complex tables and embedded images are best re-inserted in LibreOffice.
Is the tool free?
Yes, with no account required.
