Document Converter
Document conversion is a structural problem rather than a pixel one. The content — headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links — has to be understood and then rewritten using the target format's own conventions.
FileTools360 parses every supported document into one internal model and writes every output format from it. That is why a fix to list handling improves DOCX, ODT, HTML and Markdown output at the same time.

Your documents are not uploaded to a server
Most online converters copy your file onto their own computer, convert it there and send it back — that copy is what “upload” means, and it is the part nobody explains. Nothing here does that. A Word file is usually a draft — which means it carries the things that were not meant to be final, and often tracked changes and comments nobody removed. Every tool on this page runs inside the browser you are reading this in, so the file is never transmitted, never stored and never seen by anyone. Turn off your Wi-Fi and convert something anyway if you want to watch that be true.

Editable formats and final formats
DOCX, ODT and RTF are editing formats: text reflows, styles are semantic, and two people can work on the same file. Their weakness is that layout shifts depending on the application and the fonts installed.
PDF is a delivery format. The layout is fixed and will look identical everywhere, which is exactly why it resists editing. Choosing between them is really a question of whether the document is finished.
What survives a conversion and what does not
Headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links, emphasis and inline images carry across reliably. That covers the substance of most documents.
Headers and footers, footnotes, comments, tracked changes, exact fonts and precise page-level layout generally do not. If a document depends on those, converting it is the wrong move — send the original.
Why Markdown is worth knowing
Markdown is plain text with a few conventions, which means it is readable as written, diffs cleanly in version control, and converts to almost anything without loss.
For documentation, notes and anything that lives alongside code, it avoids the vendor lock-in of proprietary document formats entirely.
