DOCX to Text Converter

Convert Word (DOCX) or RTF documents to clean plain text — free, private, in your browser.

✓ Your files never leave your device. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Sometimes you only need the words, not the formatting. This tool extracts plain text from Word .docx files and Rich Text .rtf files, removing fonts, styles and other markup.

The document is parsed locally in your browser — you never upload your file.

How it works

  1. Choose a document – Pick a .docx or .rtf file (plain .txt is also accepted).
  2. Convert – Click Convert to extract the text.
  3. Copy or download – Copy the text or download it as a .txt file.

What is extracted

Paragraphs, line breaks, list text and basic punctuation. Formatting, images, tables-as-grids and comments are not preserved — the result is intentionally plain.

Privacy

Contracts, applications and personal documents are sensitive. Because parsing happens in your browser, they stay on your device.

Frequently asked questions

Table text is included, but the grid layout is flattened to plain text.

Which formats are supported?

Word .docx and Rich Text .rtf. Legacy .doc (binary) is not supported.

Is formatting kept?
