About formats

DOC is the binary document format of Microsoft Word, the word processor first released in October 1983 for MS-DOS and later becoming the dominant document creation tool worldwide. The format stores documents as OLE2 compound document files — a binary container with multiple internal streams holding text content, formatting information, embedded objects, macros, and metadata. The text stream uses a complex system of formatting runs, section descriptors, paragraph and character property tables, and style definitions to represent arbitrarily complex document layouts including columns, headers, footnotes, tables, floating images, tracked changes, and mail merge fields. The format evolved substantially through Word versions, with Word 97 establishing the binary structure that remained standard through Word 2003 and created the .doc files most commonly encountered today. One advantage is near-universal compatibility — DOC files can be opened by virtually every word processor and document viewer across all platforms, from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, Google Docs, and Apple Pages. The format's rich feature support is another strength: DOC handles complex layouts, embedded OLE objects, VBA macros, and revision tracking that power enterprise document workflows. Although Microsoft introduced the XML-based DOCX format with Office 2007, DOC remains heavily present in existing document archives and continues to be produced by organizations maintaining compatibility with older Word installations.
Developer: Microsoft
Initial release: October 1983
RGBA is a raw (headerless) image format that extends the RGB color model with a fourth channel for alpha transparency. Each pixel is stored as four consecutive sample values — red, green, blue, and alpha — written sequentially in scanline order with no container structure, headers, or compression. The alpha channel specifies opacity for each pixel independently: a maximum value means fully opaque, zero means fully transparent, and intermediate values produce semi-transparency. Like its three-channel counterpart, RGBA files require the image dimensions and bit depth to be specified externally since the raw data stream contains no metadata. The format supports 8-bit (four bytes per pixel, 32-bit total), 16-bit, and floating-point channel depths. In compositing workflows, the alpha channel enables layering operations where foreground elements are blended over backgrounds according to their per-pixel opacity — the mathematical foundation for all modern image compositing, described by Porter and Duff in their seminal 1984 paper on digital compositing. One advantage is direct framebuffer compatibility: modern GPU hardware natively processes 32-bit RGBA pixels, so raw RGBA data can be uploaded to texture memory or written from render targets without any format conversion, critical for real-time graphics applications and game engines. The format's simplicity in representing transparent images provides another practical benefit — scientific visualization, medical imaging, and overlay rendering can produce raw RGBA output that any downstream tool can consume without needing a common container format. RGBA files are handled by ImageMagick, FFmpeg, and various graphics and compositing tools.
Initial release: 1990

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert DOC to RGBA?

RGBA adds an alpha (transparency) channel to SGI RGB — useful when document page images need transparency data for compositing.

What programs open RGBA files?

RGBA files open in Photoshop, GIMP, Blender, XnView, and 3D/VFX tools that support SGI image formats with alpha.

Does DOC content have transparency?

DOC pages typically render with a solid white background. The alpha channel in RGBA can be used for compositing in post-processing.

Is DOC to RGBA free?

Yes — Convertio provides free DOC to RGBA conversion. Premium accounts offer expanded capacity for demanding use.

Are all pages converted?

Each page of your DOC is rendered as a separate RGBA image, all processed together in one batch.
