Understanding scrivx and docx file formats

SCRIVX is the project file format used by Scrivener, a popular writing software for authors and researchers. The .scrivx file is an XML-based file that acts as an index for the project, referencing all the documents, folders, and metadata within a Scrivener project. It does not contain the actual content but organizes the structure of your writing project.

DOCX is the standard document format used by Microsoft Word and many other word processors. It is a widely supported, XML-based format that stores formatted text, images, tables, and other document elements.

Why convert scrivx to docx?

Converting a scrivx file to docx allows you to share your writing with others who use Microsoft Word or other compatible word processors. It is also useful for final formatting, printing, or publishing your work outside of Scrivener.

How to convert scrivx to docx

Since the scrivx file is only a project index and does not contain the actual text, you must use the entire Scrivener project folder for conversion. The best way to convert your Scrivener project to docx is by using Scrivener's built-in Compile feature.

Step-by-step conversion using Scrivener

  1. Open your project in Scrivener.
  2. Go to File → Compile.
  3. In the Compile window, select Microsoft Word (.docx) as the output format.
  4. Adjust formatting and content options as needed.
  5. Click Compile and choose the destination for your new docx file.

Best software for scrivx to docx conversion

The most reliable software for this conversion is Scrivener itself, available for both Windows and macOS. There are currently no third-party converters that can directly convert a .scrivx file to .docx, as the .scrivx file alone does not contain your project’s content.

Tips and considerations

  • Always use the full Scrivener project folder, not just the .scrivx file, for conversion.
  • Review your compiled .docx file for formatting issues or missing content.
  • If you do not have access to Scrivener, ask a collaborator with Scrivener to perform the conversion.
