Works File Converter release notes

The current public release is 6.1.0 (August 17, 2026). WinGet previously shipped 5.1.0.0 (July 2026). This page lists user-visible changes in 6.1.0 compared with that build.

6.1.0 still includes batch conversion of Microsoft Works documents, spreadsheets, and databases (.wps, .wpt, .wks, .xlr, .wdb), multi-format output in one run, watch folders, and Explorer right-click Quick Convert. Looking for what we might build next? See the product roadmap.
