Three steps to your converted file

Everything happens in your browser tab - upload, pick a format, download. The heavy lifting runs on our servers.

01

Upload your file

Drag and drop, click to browse, or paste a URL. Batches take up to 20 files at once - 230+ input formats across video, audio, image, document, and archive types.

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

Convert & download

Hit Convert and grab your download link moments later. Originals are erased when the job completes; results are cleared within about an hour.

What is a WPS file?

A WPS file is the default document format for Microsoft Works Word Processor, a simplified productivity suite discontinued in 2009. The format consists of a binary structure that varies significantly between software versions (Works 2.0 through 9.0), containing rich text, headers, and basic layout information. It lacks the advanced macro and XML schema support found in the contemporary DOC and DOCX formats.

How to open a WPS file

As Microsoft Works is deprecated, modern native OS support is non-existent. Microsoft Word 2016 and earlier versions included a Works 6-9 file converter. For current systems, LibreOffice Writer is the standard alternative, offering robust interpretation of the legacy binary format via the libwps import filter.

What is an ODT file?

ODT is the text document format of the OpenDocument standard (ISO/IEC 26300), maintained by the OASIS consortium. It employs an XML-based architecture where the document's content, styles, settings, and metadata are stored in separate XML files (e.g., content.xml, styles.xml) and compressed into a single ZIP container. It serves as the default native format for the LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice suites.

How to open an ODT file

The file opens natively in LibreOffice Writer and Apache OpenOffice Writer on Linux, Windows, and macOS. Microsoft Word (2010 and later) and Google Docs also possess built-in import filters to read and edit ODT files, though minor formatting discrepancies may occur during conversion.
