• Step 1 — Keep a copy of the original file, verify the file type, and determine the result you need before changing anything.

What to check in the finished file

The goal is a usable result, not merely a file with a new extension. For this workflow, save every picture in a Word document at its original quality.. Review headings, lists, tables and page boundaries in the output. Document converters may prioritize readable structure over pixel-identical page layout.

• Open the saved file and confirm it is complete and readable or playable.
• Compare the output with the original, especially text, dimensions, audio and page order where relevant.
• Check that the file meets the target app’s upload, compatibility or size requirements.

Common problem and how to avoid it
