WPSConvert is the most complete solution for recovering and migrating legacy Microsoft Works archives on Mac. Unlike read-only viewers, it converts .wps word processor files and .wks/.xlr spreadsheets into fully editable modern formats — including Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), OpenDocument (.odt, .ods), PDF, and RTF — while faithfully preserving original text styles, tables, headers, footers, images, and graphics. Everything runs natively and entirely offline, with no third-party dependency required.

Key Features
Word Processor Conversion
Convert Microsoft Works word processor files (.wps, .wpt) into fully editable Word (.docx, .doc), OpenDocument Text (.odt), PDF, and RTF — fully compatible with the latest versions of Microsoft Word, with no Compatible Mode opening required.
Spreadsheet Conversion
Convert Microsoft Works spreadsheet files (.wks, .xlr) into Excel (.xlsx, .xls) and OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods) — the only Works converter on Mac that handles both document and spreadsheet formats.
Layout & Formatting Preservation
Accurately reconstructs paragraph styles, fonts, alignments, page margins, tables, lists, headers, footers, images, and graphics — retaining the complete structure of the original Works document.
High-Volume Batch Conversion
Convert entire directories of legacy Works files in one pass. Drag and drop documents or folders — WPSConvert automatically filters for supported file types and processes them all simultaneously.
Text Encoding Control
Apply custom text encoding for correct character conversion — especially useful for older Works files with non-standard character sets or regional text formatting.
Flexible Destination Options
Save converted files beside the originals in the same folder, or set a custom destination directory. Source folder hierarchy is automatically recreated at the target location.
Standalone & Fully Private
No Windows, Microsoft Works, or virtual machine needed. All conversion runs natively on your Mac — no internet connection, no third-party plugins, your files never leave your device.
