What does the .txt contain?

Just the text of the document, paragraph by paragraph. All formatting is dropped: no heading styles, no bold or italic, no list bullets, no table grid — only the words themselves.

Is it free, and do I need an account?

Yes, it is free with no watermarks, no daily caps, and no sign-up. Drop your .docx file, convert it, and download the .txt.

About converting DOCX to text

A Word .docxis a zip of XML that describes your document’s content and styles. This tool walks that content and extracts the raw text, paragraph by paragraph, into a plain .txt file — ideal for word counts, search indexing, pasting into plain-text fields, or feeding tools that only want the words.

Plain text means plain: heading styles, bold and italic, list bullets, and table grids are all deliberately dropped. If you want the structure kept, use DOCX to Markdown (headings, lists, bold, and links as Markdown syntax) or DOCX to HTML (full semantic structure, including tables).

Is it private?

Yes. The converter is JavaScript running on your own machine. It reads the .docx and extracts the text entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or seen by us; there is no server to send files to.
