The Word jobs you do every week, without opening Word

Most document chores are small: turn a .docx into a PDF for a portal, combine chapters into one file, cut an attachment down to size, change a name everywhere, or add a password before sending. DocsBat gives each of those jobs its own focused tool, with the options that matter and nothing else.

Every tool runs in the browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, iPhone, iPad and Android. The work happens on the DocsBat server, so a phone can merge or convert a long document as easily as a laptop.

You can run a tool 3 times a day without an account. A free account raises that to 10 tasks a day, files up to 25 MB, and saves every result to your private Drive with 1 GB of space. Pro is $4 a month for unlimited tasks and files up to 100 MB.

Why use DocsBat for Word documents

Built for .docx

The tools work on the Word file itself, so formatting, pictures, lists and styles are kept, and the result opens in Word, LibreOffice and Google Docs.

Try without signing up

Run any tool 3 times a day with no account. Sign up free when you need more.

Works on your phone

Every tool runs in mobile Safari and Chrome. Nothing to download from an app store.

Results saved for you

With an account, every result lands in your Drive, ready to download again, share with a link or open in another tool.

Password protected files

Tools open a .docx that needs a password when you enter it, and Protect Word adds real encryption.

Pro for $4 a month

Unlimited tasks, files up to 100 MB, 10 GB of Drive storage and unlimited e signature envelopes.

Convert from Word: Word to PDF, Word to JPG for JPG or PNG pages, Word to Text for plain text, HTML or Markdown, and Extract Images for the original pictures.
Convert to Word: PDF to Word rebuilds paragraphs, headings, lists and pictures, and Text to Word turns plain text, Markdown or HTML into a formatted .docx.
Organize: Merge Word combines documents in the order you choose, and Split Word cuts one at headings, page breaks or into equal parts.

Frequently asked questions

Are the Word tools really free?

Yes. Every tool runs on the free plan. Without an account you get 3 runs a day, and a free account gives you 10 tasks a day with files up to 25 MB. Pro removes the daily limit for $4 a month.

Do I need to create an account?

Not to try a tool: you can run tools 3 times a day without one. A free account gives you more tasks and saves every result to your Drive. The Word editor and e signatures need an account.

Can I use .doc files?

No. The tools work with .docx, the format Word has used since 2007. Open an old .doc in Word or LibreOffice, save it as .docx and try again.

Do the tools work on a phone?

Yes. They run in Safari, Chrome and other mobile browsers on iPhone, iPad and Android, with nothing to install.

What happens to my files?

Files travel over HTTPS. With an account, results are saved to your private Drive, which only you can see unless you share a link.

Will the formatting of my document change?

The tools edit the Word file directly, so formatting, pictures, lists and styles are kept. Conversions such as PDF to Word rebuild the document, so check complex layouts afterwards.

What does Pro add?

Unlimited tool tasks, files up to 100 MB instead of 25 MB, 10 GB of storage, unlimited e signature envelopes and 4,000 AI credits a month, for $4 a month.
