Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the Word 97-2003 format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in Word 97-2003 are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality PGM Grayscale input produces an excellent Word 97-2003 output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly.
