About DOCX to DOCM Conversion
Short answer: yes, you can convert DOCX to DOCM online for free, and quality is well preserved with the right settings. Just upload your .docx file to CocoConvert, pick DOCM as the output, and click Convert. The whole process takes seconds.
Now for the details. DOCX is Microsoft Word's modern format based on Office Open XML — editable text documents with formatting. DOCM is a widely used file format. Converting between these two formats lets you convert between formats quickly.
Your DOCX file is decoded and re-encoded as DOCM. Converting DOCX to DOCM maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.
CocoConvert runs entirely online — no software to install, no account to create. Your files are encrypted during upload (TLS), processed on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deleted after 24 hours. It works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and all mobile browsers.
Need to convert more than one file? Free users can do 5 per hour. Pro gets 100 per hour with files up to 5 GB each.
