Convert DOCX to TXT
Strip the formatting, keep the words.

Converting DOCX to plain text strips every trace of formatting — fonts, colors, tables, images, headers, footers — and leaves you with the raw words. It's the right move when you need to feed the document into something that only takes plain text: a search index, a language model prompt, a script that does text analysis, or any tool that doesn't care about visual layout.
When you'd use it
Feed text to AI tools
Most LLM interfaces and chat tools accept plain text far more reliably than docx. Converting first gives you a clean, predictable paste — no formatting noise, no token bloat from style metadata.
Index for full-text search
Search systems, document indexers, and knowledge bases want raw text. Converting to TXT lets you bulk-feed Word documents into systems that don't ship with native docx parsers.
Diff or version-control prose
Diffing docx files is painful — every save changes invisible bytes. Converting to TXT before checking into git gives you human-readable diffs that show only what actually changed in the prose.

Technical notes
Mammoth.js extracts the raw text from the document — paragraph text, list items, table cell contents, all in reading order. Hyperlinks become their visible text (the URL itself is dropped). Images, embedded objects, headers, footers, and footnotes are stripped entirely. Empty paragraphs are preserved as empty lines, which keeps the document's pacing. The output is UTF-8 encoded and uses standard newlines.
Frequently asked
What happens to my DOCX files?
Nothing leaves your browser. The conversion runs locally on your device using WebAssembly and the Canvas API. No file is uploaded to a server — including ours.
Is the converted TXT identical to the original?
TXT is a lossless format. Pixel data round-trips exactly when the input is also lossless.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no hard cap, but very large files (hundreds of MB) may be slow on older devices because everything happens in your browser's memory.
Do you collect data on my file or my use?
Your file is invisible to us — it never leaves your browser. For aggregate page-view counts we use Cloudflare's server-side edge logs (no JavaScript beacon runs in your browser). We display Google AdSense ads on conversion result pages; the AdSense script loads on every page and may set advertising cookies after you accept the consent banner (Google Consent Mode v2 asks first). The ads see the page URL and standard browsing signals — they never see your file, because the file never leaves your device.
Will I lose information?
Yes — every visual detail is dropped: fonts, colors, sizes, images, formatting, comments, tracked changes. What remains is the literal text in reading order. If you need any of the formatting later, keep the docx as your source of truth and treat the txt as a derived export.
What about tables?
Table cell contents come through as plain text in row-major order. The visual table structure is lost — if your document relies on tabular layout for meaning, consider DOCX → HTML or DOCX → Markdown instead, both of which preserve the structure.
Hyperlinks?
The visible link text is preserved; the URL is not. If you need to keep URLs, use the HTML or Markdown conversion paths instead — both preserve <a href> correctly.
