Upload the MOBI and the converter extracts the full text stream, paragraph structure, and inline formatting into an editable DOC file. Open it in Word / Pages / LibreOffice and the manuscript is ready to revise without any re-typing.
Does the DOC keep chapter structure from the MOBI?
+
Yes — chapter starts in the MOBI (signaled by epub:type="chapter" or h1 / h2 headings) become DOC Heading 1 styles, ready for outline view or automatic TOC regeneration via Word's built-in tools.
Will italics / bold / blockquotes survive going from MOBI to DOC?
+
Yes — inline character runs (italic, bold, underline, strikethrough, superscript, subscript) all map to DOC character formatting. Blockquotes become DOC "Quote" style; bullet and numbered lists become real DOC list elements (not just indented text).
Are images from the MOBI embedded in the DOC?
+
Yes — every illustration in the MOBI is extracted as PNG / JPG and embedded inline in the DOC at the same anchor point as the original. Word / Pages / LibreOffice render them inline; you can right-click to resize or replace each one.
Can I edit the DOC and reconvert it back to ebook?
+
Yes — round-trip DOC → EPUB works via the reverse converter. Save the DOC after editing, then use /docx-to-epub/ (or the format-specific DOC → EPUB path) to rebuild a new ebook with your edits.
Why is my DOC formatting different from how the MOBI looked on Kindle?
+
Kindle / Kobo apply their own reader CSS on top of the MOBI's embedded styles. The DOC we produce reflects the MOBI's actual encoded styling, not the reader's overrides. That's usually what you want for editing — it shows what the publisher intended.
Does MOBI to DOC preserve footnotes / endnotes?
+
Yes — popup-style footnotes in the MOBI become real Word / RTF footnotes in the DOC (Insert → Footnote round-tripped). Endnotes become endnotes. Cross-references stay linked between the body text and the note.
Will the DOC include the cover image from the MOBI?
+
Yes — the cover image is placed on the first page of the DOC. Delete it if you only want the manuscript body; the rest of the document is unaffected.
Is the MOBI file private during DOC conversion?
+
Yes — same privacy: isolated workers, deletion within minutes, no human review. Especially relevant when working with unpublished manuscripts — uploaded MOBI files are never used to train any model.
How big is the DOC compared to the MOBI?
+
Text-heavy MOBI files produce DOC files of similar size (within 30%). Image-heavy MOBI can balloon — DOCX / RTF re-encode images uncompressed by default. Use the "compress images" advanced option to keep the DOC small.
Why does my DOC have weird spacing between paragraphs?
+
CSS `margin-bottom` on `<p>` in the MOBI sometimes maps to a Word "Space After" value the editor doesn't expect. Select-all and apply a paragraph style to normalize. The DOC content is correct; only the visual spacing differs.
Can I batch convert many MOBI books into DOC files?
+
Yes — drop multiple MOBI files in and we extract each one in parallel. Useful for migrating a long ebook backlist into editable DOC drafts. The result is a zip of one DOC per source.
