02 / what you get
What happens to your data
Kept
- Headings, bold and italic, lists, tables, footnotes and links are kept as real structure
- Old Word 97-2003 files are read, including ones saved by very old versions of Word
- The text is split into chapters at the headings, with a title page made from the document title
- An EPUB 3 e-book that opens in Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books, Calibre and most reader apps
Good to know
- Fonts, colors, page size, headers, footers and comments are not part of this format and are dropped.
- Only the text structure is kept, so the result will not look like the printed page.
- Password-protected documents are not supported, and macros inside the file are not run.
- The text reflows to the screen, so there are no fixed pages or page numbers. No cover image is created.
- Files up to 300 MB are accepted.

DOC vs EPUB
DOC
A DOC file is the older, legacy Microsoft Word format (Word 97-2003), stored as a proprietary binary format. Still shows up in old archives and email attachments, but Word itself has defaulted to DOCX since 2007.
Used in: Legacy Word documents · Old email attachments
EPUB
An EPUB file is the standard ebook format — reflowable text that adapts to any screen size, used by virtually every e-reader and reading app except Kindle's native format.
Used in: E-readers · Reading apps · Digital books
