File extension asd is most notably known to be used for automatically generated backups in associated with Microsoft Word, one of the most popular word processing tools on market offered as part of Office 365 bundle.
This backup is automatically generated in time intervals specified by the user in the program settings. This file is used in case the program suddenly closed, to at least partially recover the changes done in the document between the auto-save intervals.
Various version of Microsoft Word used this file type for automatically saved backups. The latest version of Word from Office 365 still uses this function.

You cannot convert this backup, you first have to recover the document before you can work with it.
