Convert Word templates (DOT) online for free
The converter easily converts your DOT templates to various formats - free and online. No Graphviz & Microsoft Word or or other Text software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "Graph Code & Document Template" formats to DOT without using software like Graphviz & Microsoft Word or a similar tool.
The .DOT file extension represents two completely distinct, widely used formats: a plain text Graph Description Language file for Graphviz, or a legacy Microsoft Word Document Template. Graphviz .DOT files store structural data for rendering graphs, networks, and diagrams using directed or undirected spatial algorithms. Conversely, Microsoft Word .DOT files are binary Microsoft Compound files (used prior to Word 2007) that store boilerplate document structures, macros, and formatting.
Working with .DOT files often presents frustrating compatibility limits. Legacy Word templates use an outdated binary structure that triggers security blocks in modern office suites due to macro vulnerabilities, and they lack the efficiency of the modern XML-based DOTX format. Graphviz files are strictly code; they cannot be visually displayed in standard web browsers or image viewers without rendering them through the Graphviz command-line engine or a compatible parser.
You need to convert .DOT files to access their content efficiently. For Graphviz data, convert to SVG for scalable web use, or PNG and PDF for static sharing. For legacy Word templates, convert to DOCX to modernize the file, or PDF/A for permanent, secure archiving. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our DOT converter.
