DOC to DOCX Conversion FAQ
How do I convert DOC to DOCX?
+
Drop your DOC file onto the upload area. PDF.to reads the source structure and writes an equivalent DOCX document you can download immediately.
Will styles, headings, and lists survive the DOC to DOCX conversion?
+
Yes. Heading levels, paragraph styles, ordered and unordered lists, and inline formatting (bold, italic, links) are mapped to DOCX equivalents.
Do tables in my DOC come through correctly in the DOCX?
+
Yes — tables are reconstructed as native DOCX tables with row, column, and merged-cell structure intact.
Will images embedded in my DOC stay embedded in the DOCX?
+
Yes, at original resolution and position. Inline images, floated images, and image-in-table cells all carry over.
Does the converter preserve track-changes and comments?
+
Yes when both DOC and DOCX support them. If DOCX has no comment model, comments become inline annotations or are stripped — your choice in the options panel.
Can PDF.to batch-convert many DOC files at once?
+
Yes — drag a folder onto the page. Each DOC becomes a separate DOCX, all delivered as a ZIP.
What is the largest DOC file I can convert?
+
100 MB on the free plan, 5 GB on PRO. Documents that large usually have heavy embedded images.
Will hyperlinks and cross-references in the DOC stay working in the DOCX?
+
Yes. URLs, internal cross-references, footnotes, and bookmarks are all mapped to their DOCX equivalents.
Is the DOC to DOCX converter free?
+
Yes for documents under 100 MB. PRO accounts get larger files, faster processing, and batch ZIP delivery.
Does PDF.to keep my DOC content?
+
No. Uploaded DOC files and converted DOCX outputs are deleted from our servers within an hour. Conversion runs in an isolated worker.
Why does my DOCX look slightly different from my DOC?
+
Different document formats have different default fonts, margins, and pagination rules. We preserve content faithfully; minor visual differences in fonts or page breaks are expected.
Can I convert DOC to DOCX on a phone or tablet?
+
Yes. The whole conversion runs in your browser — upload your DOC, get the DOCX back, no app to install.
