ODT converter
Convert your ODT files to any format.
What is a ODT file?
ODT is the open-standard word processor format — LibreOffice and OpenOffice's default, built on the same ZIP-plus-XML idea as DOCX but under an open, royalty-free spec.
First released in 2006 by OASIS (used by LibreOffice, OpenOffice), it uses lossless compression and no transparency, which makes it best suited to editable documents in an open, vendor-neutral standard.

ODT: frequently asked questions
What's the difference between ODT and DOCX?
Both are ZIP-based XML document formats with similar capabilities. ODT is an open ISO standard used by LibreOffice/OpenOffice; DOCX is Microsoft's format, the default in Word.
Can Microsoft Word open ODT files?
Yes, modern versions of Word can open and save ODT, though complex formatting sometimes converts more reliably by going through DOCX.
Why would I convert ODT to DOCX?
Mainly for compatibility — if you're collaborating with people who exclusively use Microsoft Word, DOCX avoids any formatting surprises.
Is the conversion private?
Document conversions involving ODT are processed on our servers using LibreOffice — your file is deleted immediately after conversion and never stored.
