Convert Word to TXT online, free, with the formatting preserved exactly. Word (DOCX) is the world's most-used document format, fully editable with rich formatting, styles, tables and images. Plain text is the simplest, most portable format, readable on any device with no formatting overhead. This tool uses a full LibreOffice engine on our secure servers to reproduce fonts, layout, tables and images faithfully — the same technology behind professional office suites — so your TXT looks just like the original, not a rough approximation.
Convert Word to TXT
Upload your Word file
Drop your Microsoft Word document or click to browse. It is sent securely, converted, and never stored after your download.
Convert to TXT
Our LibreOffice engine renders the document and exports a clean plain text, preserving fonts, spacing, tables and images.
Download the TXT
Save your finished TXT file instantly. The uploaded copy is deleted automatically once the conversion completes.
Why convert Word to TXT?
TXT gives you a fully editable file you can open and change in your favourite editor. Turning a Word into TXT unlocks the content so you can reuse, update or restyle it instead of being stuck with a fixed layout.
How accurate is the conversion?
Very accurate. Because we run the full LibreOffice rendering engine rather than a simple text extractor, complex formatting — multi-column layouts, tables, embedded images, headers and footers, fonts — is reproduced faithfully. This is the same open-source engine trusted by governments and enterprises worldwide.
Common Uses
