Convert Word to text

Every word of the document, paragraph by paragraph, in reading order. Tables come through as their cell text. Everything else, from fonts and colours to bold, images and page layout, is dropped, because a .txt file has no way to store it.

Use it when only the words matter: pasting into a form or CMS without dragging Word formatting along, counting or searching text, loading content into a script, spreadsheet or translation tool, or keeping a copy that any device will open in fifty years.

If you want to keep headings, lists and links, Word to Markdown keeps that structure in a format that's still plain text.

The text is read directly from the document's contents, not recognised from an image, so it's exact: no OCR errors, no missing characters. Any language or script in the document comes through, saved as UTF-8. Several DOCX files can be converted at once.

Your document is opened by your browser and the text file is created on your device. The work happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored on a server. Once the page has loaded it keeps working offline, and it's free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
