Quality & Fidelity
Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. Word 97-2003 preserves the full range. RAW Image maintains the complete dynamic range. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the RAW Image format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in RAW Image are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality Word 97-2003 input produces an excellent RAW Image output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly.

Document files typically contain legacy documents, while Image files are used for digital photography workflow across all camera brands. The conversion bridges these two domains, allowing you to repurpose your content across different workflows.
The DOC to RAW conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. Vulnerable to macro viruses (VBA macros embedded in file)
