About the Word to TXT Converter
Need to turn a DOCX file into TXT? This free converter changes DOCX documents into TXT in a few seconds, right in your browser. People usually convert because a Word file needs Microsoft Office or a compatible editor to look right, while TXT gives you clean plain text. TXT files open in Notepad, TextEdit, VS Code, every phone and every programming language.
Your DOCX is first read into clean, structured content (Mammoth reads the Word styles) and then written out as a proper TXT file. Because everything happens on your own device, your documents are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for contracts, resumes, bank statements and office documents.
What to expect: headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, lists, links and tables are carried across; all formatting and images are stripped, leaving clean UTF-8 text.
How to use the Word to TXT Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your DOCX documents onto the box. You can add several at once.
- No settings are needed; the structure of the document is detected automatically.
- Press "Convert to TXT". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each TXT file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in Notepad or TextEdit to check it; your original DOCX is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- The text is saved as UTF-8, so Hindi, Tamil and other Indian scripts are preserved; formatting and images are removed.
- For best results, use real headings (Heading 1, Heading 2) in the source instead of bold text; they become proper headings in TXT.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the TXT to a website or government portal.

TXT (Plain Text) is a plain text file best suited to notes, copying text into other apps, data processing and maximum compatibility.

There is no upload limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: files of a few hundred megabytes work on most computers, and phones handle smaller files comfortably.
