Convert WPS to DOCX

Understanding WPS and DOCX file formats

The WPS file format is associated with Microsoft Works, a discontinued office suite that was a more affordable alternative to Microsoft Office. WPS files are similar to Microsoft Word documents but lack some advanced features. On the other hand, the DOCX file format is a widely used document format created by Microsoft Word, part of the Microsoft Office suite. DOCX files are XML-based and offer advanced formatting options, making them a preferred choice for professional documents.
