Unfortunately, not many programs provide the ability to convert PDF to FB2. First of all, this is due to the fact that these formats use completely different standards and technologies, which complicates the correct conversion procedure. In addition, most of the well-known converters that support this conversion direction are paid.

FB2- popular format to store e-books. Applications for viewing such documents, for the most part, are cross-platform, available on both stationary and mobile operating systems. Actually, the demand for this format is dictated by the abundance of programs intended not only for viewing it (more details below).

The FB2 format is extremely easy to read, both on a large computer screen and on much smaller displays of smartphones or tablets. And yet, sometimes users need to convert the FB2 file to Microsoft document Word, whether it's the legacy DOC or the DOCX that replaced it. We will tell you how to do this in this article.

As it turned out, finding a suitable program for converting FB2 to Word is not so easy. They exist and there are quite a few of them, but most of them are either simply useless or even unsafe. And if some converters simply do not cope with the task, others will also pollute your computer or laptop with a bunch of unnecessary software from a well-known domestic corporation that is so eager to get everyone hooked on their services.

Since everything is not so simple with converter programs, it would be better to bypass this method altogether, especially since it is not the only one. If you know good program, with which you can convert FB2 to DOC or DOCX, write about it in the comments.

Using Online Resources for Converting

On the boundless expanses of the Internet, there are quite a few resources with which you can convert one format to another. Some of them allow you to convert FB2 to Word as well. So that you do not look for a suitable site for a long time, we found it, or rather them, for you. You just have to choose the one that you like more.

Consider the process of converting online using the example of the Convertio resource.

1. Upload an FB2 document to the site. To do this, this online converter offers several methods:

• Specify the path to the folder on the computer;
• Download file from cloud storage Dropbox or Google Drive;
• Specify a link to the document on the Internet.

Note: If you are not registered on this site, the maximum file size that can be uploaded cannot exceed 100 MB. Actually, in most cases this will be enough.

2. Make sure that FB2 is selected in the first window with the format, in the second select the appropriate format text document Word, which you want to get in the end. It can be DOC or DOCX.

3. Now you can convert the file, just click on the red virtual button "Convert".

4. Download the converted file to your computer by clicking the green button "Download", or save it to cloud storage.

Now you can open the saved file in the program Microsoft Word, however, the entire text, most likely, will be written together. Therefore, you will need to edit the formatting. For greater convenience, we recommend placing two windows side by side on the screen - FB2-reader and Word, and then proceed to split the text into fragments, paragraphs, etc. Our guide will help you cope with this task.

Some tricks in working with the FB2 format

The FB2 format is a kind of XML document that has a lot in common with common HTML. The latter, by the way, can be opened not only in a browser or a specialized editor, but also in Microsoft Word. Knowing this, you can quite simply translate FB2 into Word.

1. Open the folder containing the FB2 document you want to convert.

2. Click on it with the left mouse button once and rename, or rather, change the specified format from FB2 to HTML. Confirm your intentions by clicking "Yes" in a popup window.

Note: If you cannot change the file extension, but can only rename it, follow these steps:

3. Now open the renamed HTML document. It will be displayed in a browser tab.

4. Highlight page content by clicking "CTRL+A", and copy it using the keys "CTRL+C".

Note: In some browsers, the text from such pages is not copied. If you encounter the same problem, simply open the HTML file in another web browser.

5. The entire contents of the FB2 document, more precisely, already HTML, is now in the clipboard, from where you can (even need) paste it into the Word.

Launch MS Word and click "CTRL+V" to paste the copied text.

Unlike the previous method (online converter), converting FB2 to HTML with subsequent insertion into Word preserves the text break into paragraphs. And yet, if necessary, you can always change the formatting of the text manually, making the text more readable.

Opening FB2 in Word directly

The methods described above have certain disadvantages:

• text formatting may change during conversion;

• images, tables, and other graphical data that may be contained in such a file will be lost;

• tags may appear in the converted file, fortunately, they are easy to remove.

Opening FB2 in Word directly is not without drawbacks, but this method is in fact the simplest and most convenient.

1. Open Microsoft Word and select the command in it "Open other documents"(if shown recent files with whom you have worked, which is relevant for latest versions programs) or go to the menu "File" and press "Open" there.

2. In the explorer window that opens, select "All files" and specify the path to the document in FB2 format. Click on it and click open.

3. The file will open in a new window in Protected View. If you need to change it, click the button "Allow editing".

You can learn more about what Protected View is and how to disable the limited functionality of a document in our article.

Note: XML elements included in the FB2 file will be removed

Thus, we opened the FB2 document in Word program. All that remains is to work on formatting and, if necessary (most likely yes), remove tags from it. To do this, press the keys "CTRL+ALT+X".

1. Go to the menu "File" and select command "Save as".

2. In the drop-down menu located under the line with the file name, select the DOCX extension. If necessary, you can also rename the document..

3. Specify the save path and click "Save".

That's all, now you know how you can convert an FB2 file into a Word document. Choose the method that is convenient for you. By the way, the reverse conversion is also possible, that is, DOC document or DOCX can be converted to FB2. How to do this is described in our material.

The Pdf format cannot be called completely unusable, but it is much less convenient and functional compared to fb2. So if you have text to read presented in pdf format, then using special programs you will be able to convert pdf to fb2 format without much effort. There are not very many such programs, and we will tell you how to convert pdf to fb2, and which programs are most convenient for them.

Other options for converting pdf to fb2
