Found a floppy’s worth of documents no modern program will open? Drop them here. Free, no signup, nothing retained.
Text, tables and basic formatting come through well; elaborate layouts come through approximately. The engines are the Document Liberation Project filters — two decades of reverse-engineering work, the same ones inside LibreOffice — and they’re the best free readers these formats have. For a file that opens nowhere else, approximate beats gone.
It’s written to a private temporary folder for the few seconds the conversion engine needs, then deleted — nothing is retained, logged or shared. No account, no email, no “files kept for 24 hours” fine print. These are often someone’s letters, family records or old business files; we treat them accordingly.
The Mac filter alone reads some forty formats — MacWrite, WriteNow, Nisus, old Mac Word, and
more; rename the mystery file to .cwk and try. We also accept FreeHand (.fh),
QuarkXPress 3–4 (.qxd), PageMaker (.pmd/.p65) and StarOffice (.sdw/.sdc/.sda) files — the
readers are installed, we just haven’t met enough of them in the wild to make promises.
Worst case you get a clear error. Or tell us what you’ve got — adding a
format is usually easy.
