Convert DOC (Word) to JSON

Convert DOC to JSON when data from a legacy Word document is needed by an application, search, or import. Instead of one flat text value, the output has a predictable structure: pages, each with its own lines.

What the JSON contains

The result always has four top-level fields. pages holds text by page together with its lines. tables belongs to the same contract but comes back empty for DOC files: table content lands in the page lines alongside ordinary text.

{
  "source": { "filename": "contract.doc", "format": "doc", "pages": 1, "size_bytes": 18432 },
  "converted_at": "2026-09-18 10:30:00",
  "pages": [{
    "number": 1,
    "text": "Delivery terms\nItem\nQuantity\nPaper\n12",
    "lines": ["Delivery terms", "Item", "Quantity", "Paper", "12"]
  }],
  "tables": []
}

• source gives the name, format, size, and number of text pages in the original file.
• converted_at records when the result was created.
• pages lets code read the complete text of a page or its individual lines.
• tables is always present and stays an empty array for DOC, so the same parser handles every source format.

JSON carries data rather than appearance: fonts, element placement, images, headers, footers, and table styling are not included. Table cells arrive as separate lines, without a header row or columns; for a marked-up table, save the document as DOCX and use the DOCX to JSON converter. Complex legacy DOC layout may not match the visual page boundaries.

How to get a code-ready file

1. Upload a DOC document.
2. Select JSON as the output format.
3. Download the file and read pages in your code.
