Word to TXT — free, no watermark, no sign-up
Drop a .docx in and just the text is extracted into a .txt file — a blank line between paragraphs, no formatting, images or table lines. It is saved as UTF-8 with a BOM, so Windows Notepad opens it without garbled characters. Text in headers and footers is not extracted.
What comes across, and what does not
Comes across
- Body text
- Text inside tables (cell by cell, in order)
- List text (without bullet or number symbols)
- UTF-8 with a BOM, so Notepad opens it cleanly
Does not come across
- Fonts, colours, bold and other formatting
- Images
- Text in headers and footers
- Legacy .doc files (save as .docx first)

Common questions
- Do I need to sign up?
- No. Converting and downloading need no account. Signing in is only for saving the result to the cloud and continuing on another device.
- Is the result watermarked?
- No. Nothing is watermarked and there is no limit on how many times you convert.
- Is my file uploaded to your servers?
- No. The whole conversion happens in your browser. Open DevTools (F12) and watch the Network tab to check. The one thing that uses the network is the text-recognition engine for scans, downloaded once and only if you agree.
- How big a file can I convert?
- There is no limit. We no longer measure your file up front — that number was ours, not any device’s real ceiling. We just start; if this device genuinely cannot fit it, the browser says so and we pass on the reason, a way forward, and an event ID.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes, with the same features as on a computer. Very large files will simply take longer.
- Will you start charging later?
- It is free and unlimited today. We avoid absolute promises nobody can back, and there is no hidden sign-up wall or usage cap either.
- What happened to my tables?
- The table lines are gone and the text comes out cell by cell, one per line. To keep tables, use Word to PDF or open the file online.
- Another program shows garbled text?
- The file is UTF-8 with a BOM, which Windows Notepad (old and new) understands. If an older program ignores the BOM, choose UTF-8 when opening.
- Is the file uploaded?
- No. Extraction happens in your browser.
