Good to know
- The DOCM file is opened by LibreOffice. Fonts it does not have are replaced, so line and page breaks can differ a little from the program that made the file.
- Macros in the document are not run and are not kept.
- The RTF is made so that word processors can edit it.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting DOCM to RTF free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my DOCM files uploaded anywhere?
This conversion runs on our server, because reading a DOCM file needs LibreOffice, which does not run in a browser. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion. The server has no internet access while it works on your file.
How large can the DOCM file be?
Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
Will the RTF look the same as the DOCM?
The text and structure are kept: headings, lists, tables, bold and italic. Exact page layout, fonts and spacing may differ, because RTF is flowing text, not fixed pages.
Can I convert several DOCM files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
