Frequently asked questions
How do I convert DOCX to TXT?
Add your DOCX file with the button above or drop it on the page, check that TXT is selected, press Convert and download the file.
Does converting DOCX to TXT reduce quality?
TXT does not lose detail through compression, so the conversion does not reduce quality. What the result can show is limited by what DOCX contained.
Are my DOCX files uploaded?
No. The file is read and converted by your own browser. It never leaves your device, so private documents and client work stay private.
Can I convert many DOCX files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like. Each one is converted and you can download them one by one or all together as a ZIP.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no limit set by us. Very large files depend on the memory of your device and browser, so convert huge files on a desktop or laptop.
