Why convert DOCX to ODT?

Converting from DOCX (Office Open XML Document) to ODT (Open Document Text) helps you work with your content in a different application or workflow. DOCX and ODT serve different purposes, and converting between them bridges the gap.

DOCX vs ODT: technical comparison

DOCX (Office Open XML Document, introduced in 2007) uses ZIP (containing XML parts) compression. ODT (Open Document Text, introduced in 2005) uses ZIP (containing XML content, styles, meta, media) compression. DOCX browser support: None (requires office application or online viewer). ODT browser support: None (requires office application or online viewer).

What happens to quality?

The quality impact depends on the specific settings used during conversion. ODT uses compression that may affect quality depending on the chosen settings.

File size impact

Pro tip

For the best conversion results, always start from the highest quality source file available. Converting from a previously compressed file compounds any existing compression artifacts. When in doubt, use higher quality settings — you can always re-convert at lower quality later, but you cannot recover quality that has been lost.
