What are Word (DOCX) and TXT files?
Word (DOCX) (.docx, .doc)
DOCX is the default format of Microsoft Word. It is fully editable, which makes it ideal for drafting letters, applications, assignments and reports before converting the final version to PDF.
TXT (.txt)
TXT is plain, unformatted text. It opens anywhere, is tiny and is perfect for copying content into other apps, but it holds no fonts, images or layout.
Tips for the best TXT results
- Keep your original file until you have checked the converted result.
- Bookmark this page or install the app to convert Word files offline next time.
Private by design: how this converter works
Unlike typical online converters that upload your file to a remote server, this Word to Text converter processes everything on your own device using PDF.js (by Mozilla), pdf-lib and other open-source libraries compiled for the browser. Your file is read into browser memory, converted, and offered back as a download — it is never sent to us.
- No upload wait — conversion starts instantly, even on slow mobile data.
- Private — safe for NID copies, certificates, bank statements and personal photos.
- No limits — no daily quota, no queue and no watermark.
- Offline-ready — once loaded, many tools keep working without internet.
