What this conversion does

Word

Reading Word

The .docx is unzipped in the page and read as WordprocessingML: heading styles become heading levels, real numbering definitions become ordered and bulleted lists, bordered paragraphs become quotes, and fully monospaced runs become code blocks. Embedded pictures are not carried over, and the converter tells you how many it left behind.

TXT

Writing TXT

Every mark removed and the words left standing, in their original reading order — the format to reach for when whatever comes next accepts nothing but plain text.

How to convert Word to TXT

1

Open the converter

Source and target arrive already set to Word → TXT. There is nothing to configure.

2

Drop the file, or paste the text

One file at a time. You can also type straight into the editor and watch the preview keep up.

3

Convert and download

The result shows up in the preview pane first, so you can check it before the .txt file lands in your downloads.

Common questions

Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no sign-up, no watermark, and no daily limit on this page.
How many files can I convert at once?
The converter handles one file at a time. For bulk work, the Markdown batch tools take up to 10 files and hand back a ZIP.
What happens to my file?
It never leaves your computer. This conversion is JavaScript running inside the page, so the file is read, converted and saved locally — there is no upload at all.
