DOCX is Microsoft's modern Word document format based on Office Open XML (OOXML), standardized as ISO/IEC 29500. Introduced in Office 2007, DOCX stores content as compressed XML files inside a ZIP container, supporting rich text formatting, embedded media, styles, templates, and change tracking. Unlike the legacy binary DOC format, DOCX is more compact, less prone to corruption, and easier for third-party applications to parse.

DOCX is the standard for collaborative document editing and remains fully compatible with Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and most document processors. For final distribution or archival, consider converting to PDF.

EPUB (Electronic Publication) is an open ebook standard developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF), now part of the W3C. First released in 2007 as a successor to Open eBook, EPUB has become the most widely supported ebook format. EPUB files are ZIP archives containing HTML/XHTML content, CSS styling, images, and metadata organized according to the EPUB specification.

EPUB's key feature is reflowable content—text automatically adapts to different screen sizes, making it ideal for e-readers, tablets, and phones. The format supports embedded fonts, multimedia (in EPUB 3), and accessibility features. Most e-readers except Amazon Kindle natively support EPUB.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DOCX format?

DOCX (Office Open XML Document) is Microsoft Word's default document format since 2007. It's a ZIP archive containing XML files and resources. DOCX is the de facto standard for word processing and is supported by Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and many other applications.

Why convert DOCX to EPUB?

Distribution. EPUB is the standard ebook format supported by most e-readers (Kindle via conversion, Kobo, Nook, Apple Books). Converting DOCX to EPUB lets authors publish manuscripts, businesses create portable documentation, and educators distribute course materials for mobile reading.

What is preserved during conversion?

Our converter preserves: heading structure (converted to EPUB chapters), embedded images, text formatting (bold, italic, lists), and paragraph structure. Complex Word features like macros, comments, or track changes are not included in the EPUB output.

Does the conversion preserve images?

Yes. Embedded images in your DOCX are extracted and included in the EPUB. Images are preserved at their original resolution. Very large images may be optimized to keep the EPUB file size reasonable.

Will headings become chapters?

Yes! Word heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) are converted to EPUB chapter structure. Use Heading 1 for chapter titles to get the best table of contents generation in e-readers.

What EPUB version is generated?

By default, we generate EPUB 3 which offers the best compatibility with modern e-readers. EPUB 3 supports enhanced typography, multimedia, and accessibility features. The output is also backward-compatible with EPUB 2 readers.

How large can my DOCX files be?

File size limits depend on your plan: Guest: 50 MB, Free: 50 MB, Pro: 1024 MB. Most Word documents are under 25 MB, so even free users can convert typical manuscripts and reports.

Can I convert multiple DOCX files at once?

Yes—that's what we're built for. Drop up to 50 files at once. We process 3 conversions in parallel, so batches complete faster than sequential tools.

What are the limits for this converter?

TierMax File SizeMax Files/BatchParallel Processing
Guest/Free50 MB50 files3 at once

Note: File size limits are specific to this converter. Batch and parallel processing limits apply to all documents converters site-wide. See all converter limits →

How are credits calculated for this conversion?

Cost: 1 credit per 5 MB

How it works:

  • Files up to 5 MB: 1 credit
  • 6-10 MB: 2 credits
  • 11-15 MB: 3 credits
  • 16-20 MB: 4 credits

Example: A 5 MB file = 1 credit. A 95 MB file = 19 credits.

Why per-megabyte? Larger files require more resources (processing, bandwidth, storage).

What are my daily and monthly credit limits?

Credit allocations vary by account tier:

TierDaily LimitMonthly Limit
Guest100 credits/day
Free100 credits/day
Pro12,000 credits/month

Daily credits (Guest & Free tiers) reset every day at midnight UTC. Monthly credits (Pro) reset on your billing cycle date.

Note: With 1 credit per 5 MB, a typical document costs 1 credit. Pro users can convert 12000 documents per month.
