Drop in your files — A .txt per document, in the folder you choose.
Why convert
Why convert DOCX to TXT?
Plain text is the most portable, most durable and most processable format there is. It opens on anything, diffs cleanly, feeds straight into scripts, and will still be readable long after the formatting has stopped mattering.
- You need the content without formatting for a script or an import.
- A system accepts plain text only.
- You want to diff or version-control the words rather than the file.
- A batch of documents needs reducing to searchable text.
