DocWright

Convert, render and edit Word documents from .NET — with no Microsoft Word, no Office interop and no native binaries. This is the main package: install it and you have the whole pipeline.

Convert DOCX and legacy DOC to PDF, PNG/JPEG, HTML, Markdown, RTF, plain text, ODT, EPUB and RDL. Rasterize an existing PDF to page images. Load a document into a mutable model, edit it, and save it back.

Install

dotnet add package DocWright

That is all you need for everything on this page — the format readers, writers, layout engine, font engine and both renderers come with it automatically.

Convert a document to PDF

using DocWright;

var converter = new DocWrightConverter();

using FileStream input  = File.OpenRead("report.docx");
using FileStream output = File.Create("report.pdf");

ConversionResult result = converter.Convert(input, output);
Console.WriteLine($"{result.PageCount} pages");

Convert always renders to PDF. The input format is detected automatically; override that with ConvertOptions.SourceFormat when you are reading from a stream with no file name.

Save to another document format

Converting renders to PDF; saving round-trips an editable format, chosen by extension:

using DocWright;

var converter = new DocWrightConverter();
using var document = converter.Load(File.OpenRead("report.docx"));

using FileStream html = File.Create("report.html");
converter.Save(document, html, ".html");

Writers ship for .docx, .html, .md, .rtf, .txt, .odt, .epub and .rdl. Readers ship for .docx, .doc, .html, .md, .rtf and .txt.

Convert a document to images

using DocWright;
using DocWright.Renderers.Imaging;

var converter = new DocWrightConverter();

var imageOptions = new ImageRenderOptions
{
    Dpi = 150,
    Format = ImageOutputFormat.Png,
    PageEncoded = (pageNumber, bytes) => File.WriteAllBytes($"page-{pageNumber}.png", bytes),
};

using FileStream input = File.OpenRead("report.docx");
converter.ConvertToImages(input, imageOptions);

Rasterize an existing PDF

using DocWright;
using DocWright.Renderers.Imaging;

var converter = new DocWrightConverter();

var imageOptions = new ImageRenderOptions
{
    Dpi = 150,
    Format = ImageOutputFormat.Png,
    PageEncoded = (pageNumber, bytes) => File.WriteAllBytes($"page-{pageNumber}.png", bytes),
};

using FileStream input = File.OpenRead("statement.pdf");
converter.ConvertPdfToImages(input, imageOptions);

ConvertToImages and ConvertPdfToImages have no output stream of their own, so ImageRenderOptions must set either PageEncoded or PageStreamFactory to receive the pages; they throw if neither is set.

PDF is read-and-rasterize only. It is not a document importer, so Load will not accept a PDF — use ConvertPdfToImages.

Load, edit and save

using DocWright;
using DocWright.Dom;
using DocWright.Dom.Editing;

var converter = new DocWrightConverter();

using WordDocument document = converter.Load(File.OpenRead("template.docx"));

document.ReplacePlaceholders(new Dictionary<string, object?>
{
    ["CustomerName"] = "Contoso Ltd.",
    ["InvoiceTotal"] = 1499.00m,
});

using FileStream output = File.Create("filled.docx");
converter.Save(document, output);

Find and replace, {{placeholder}} template filling, bookmarks and ranges, merge and split, content controls, legacy form fields and custom-XML binding are all included here.

Performance

DocWrightConverter caches its font engine per instance, and building one costs about a second. Create one converter and reuse it — a converter per document turns a ten-second batch into a very long one. It is safe to use concurrently.

// Do this once, at startup, and share it.
static readonly DocWrightConverter Converter = new DocWrightConverter();

Optional add-ons

Everything above ships in this package. These are separate installs, added only when you want them:

Package Adds
DocWright.Composition Build a document from code with a fluent, declarative API
DocWright.MailMerge Merge fields, repeating regions, conditional records
DocWright.Compare Diff two documents into one with tracked changes
DocWright.Cryptography Open and write password-encrypted documents
DocWright.Signatures Verify and create package and PDF signatures
DocWright.ComplexText HarfBuzz shaping for Arabic, Hebrew and Indic scripts
DocWright.Ole Read compound files and extract embedded OLE payloads

Requirements

.NET Framework 4.8, .NET Standard 2.0, .NET 8.0 or .NET 10.0. Conversion is stateless and concurrency-safe, and honours cancellation and configurable resource limits.

DocWright.Composition

Build a document from code with a fluent, declarative API for DocWright — pages, headers and footers, columns, tables and text styling — then render it to PDF, images or .docx through the same pipeline as a loaded document. A composition is ordinary C#, so loops, conditionals and your own data just work.
