Various programs can be used for this. But finding them on the Internet turned out to be not easy, and those that are found can infect a computer with a virus, or install a lot of unnecessary and completely unnecessary. Therefore, I will not talk about them, especially since there are other ways.
Using online converters
I'll start with popular online converters. There are a lot of them, but the most common are Cionvertio and Ebook. To get to the desired Cionvertio page, follow the link: https://convertio.co/en/fb2-doc/ . Everything is very simple there: upload the file and click on the desired button.
With the Ebook, everything is similar, but let's look at its example. It's called Online Converter. Ebook refers to electronic books. Since we will be working with a Word document, the link will also look like: https://document.online-convert.com/ru/convert-to-docx . It says document instead of ebook. Follow it to the page of the site that interests us.
Here you need to upload what you will remake in DOCX. You can choose from a computer, cloud storage, or add a link from the Internet. I will use the first option.
Find a book in FB2 on your computer, select it and click .
It will be loaded and the name will appear next to the button. Then click "Convert file".
Wait for a while and a success message will appear.
The converted document is automatically saved on your computer. So go to the folder and find it there. Its name will be altered, so look at the date.
After opening, a line about protected viewing will appear. To remove it, click on the button "Allow editing".
The document converted from fb2 to Word looks like this. The pictures remained in place, the text too. The indents between paragraphs have disappeared and the spacing between lines has changed, but this is easy to fix.
About the possibilities of formatting and editing in Word, you can read a separate article on the site.
Changing the extension
If you do not want to use online services, then there is another option. To do this, you will have to change the extension of the document we need and copy all its contents.
Look, if there is no “.fb2” after the name, then click in Explorer.
In the list that opens, select "Folder and search options".
If Word 2016 is installed, then at the top select "View" then the button "Options", and in it the sub-item "Change folder and search options".
After that, the extension will also be added to the name. Change "fb2" to "html".
Confirm this action in the next window.
By double-clicking on a file, it will open in the browser. Select all the text - press "Ctrl + A", and copy it - "Ctrl + C".
Create a new document in MS Word and paste the text there - press "Ctrl + V".
I still have paragraphs and indents, but no pictures.
Direct opening of the desired file in Word
Instead of converting, you can use a generally simple way - open a document in fb2 format immediately in Word. To do this, launch a text editor, select the "File" tab at the top, then the item.
If it opens through Protected View, then allow editing. After that, the page will look like in the screenshot below. The text remains, but its formatting is lost, the pictures are also missing.
To save the file, go to the first tab at the top and select .
Specify the folder on the computer where you want to put it, in the "Type" field, select "Word Document" and click "Save".
If you have chosen a new format, then confirm in the window that opens that you agree with all possible changes.
These are the ways you can convert an FB2 document to DOCX or DOC. Each of them has its drawbacks, formatting is lost somewhere, somewhere pictures. Choose the one that suits you the most.

FB2 is a popular format for storing 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 an FB2 file to a Microsoft Word document, whether it is an outdated DOC or a 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, 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 a 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;
- Upload a file from Dropbox or Google Drive cloud storage;
- 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 for the Word text document that you want to end up with. 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 Microsoft Word, however, all the text will most likely 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 readers 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 the latest files you worked with are shown, which is relevant for the latest versions of the program) 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 have opened an FB2 document in Word. 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, reverse conversion is also possible, that is, a DOC or DOCX document can be converted to FB2. How to do this is described in our material.
