Convert Word to Excel online
Use this DOCX to XLSX converter to turn DOCX files into XLSX right in your browser — ideal for spreadsheets and tables, data with formulas and reports.
When should you convert Word to Excel?
- When you need it for spreadsheets and tables
- When you need it for data with formulas
- To open your files in apps that prefer XLSX
- To share XLSX files more easily
What happens to your file
LibreOffice opens the DOCX headlessly with its Writer filter and exports XLSX. Writer, Calc, and Impress each have their own permitted output set — LibreOffice will not convert across those categories, so the allowed targets here are Writer's.
Settings this conversion runs with
| Engine | LibreOffice headless (Writer) |
|---|---|
| Output | XLSX |
| Font handling | Missing fonts detected and substituted before rendering |
What changes
- If the document uses a font the server does not have, a substitution is picked before rendering — a close match, not the original. Line breaks and page counts can shift as a result, which is why it is worth opening an important file before sending it on.
- Right-to-left documents get an extra pass: justification is normalized before rendering so Arabic paragraphs do not come out stretched or misaligned, and a known-bad Arabic font is swapped for one the renderer handles correctly.
