02

Choose an output format

Pick from over a hundred output formats. Filter by category or search by name - every option is open to everyone, no account needed.

03

What is a DOCX file?

The DOCX format is the default document standard for Microsoft Word 2007 and newer, based on the Office Open XML (OOXML) specification standardized under ISO/IEC 29500 and ECMA-376. It functions as a compressed ZIP container that packages separate XML files (such as document.xml, styles.xml, and settings.xml) alongside media assets. This modular XML architecture allows for improved data recovery and smaller file sizes compared to legacy binary DOC files, while explicitly prohibiting the storage of VBA macros.

How to open a DOCX file

DOCX is natively supported by Microsoft Word 2007+ on Windows and macOS. Due to its status as an ISO standard, it has broad compatibility with non-Microsoft ecosystem tools; it can be opened and edited by Apple Pages, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, and Apache OpenOffice. Furthermore, because it is a ZIP archive, users can rename the extension to .zip to extract and inspect the internal XML structure and embedded media assets manually.

What is an LRF file?

The LRF (Broad Band eBook) format is a deprecated proprietary eBook format developed by Sony for its PRS-500 and PRS-505 e-reader series. It is a binary format that utilizes a specific XML-based markup internally for layout rendering, supporting hard-coded pagination, vector images, and zlib compression. Unlike reflowable formats, LRF defines static page layouts, which can lead to scaling issues on displays with resolutions differing from the original Sony hardware specifications.

How to open an LRF file

Sony has abandoned LRF in favor of the EPUB standard, meaning modern devices do not support it natively. The most reliable method for opening LRF files on desktop systems is using Calibre or the Summoner application. For viewing on modern e-readers or tablets, conversion to EPUB or PDF via Calibre is the standard technical workflow.
