About this tool
Strip a Word document down to clean, editable plain text — instantly, in your browser, with no uploads.
Word to Text extracts the plain text from a Word (.docx) document, stripping away formatting, images, and layout so you are left with clean, editable content. It is built on the same engine developers trust for server-side conversion — but runs 100% in your browser, which means your document never leaves your device.
Use it to pull text into a notes app, prepare content for a script or subtitles, reflow text for publishing, or strip boilerplate before another step in your workflow. The result opens in a live editor so you can tidy it up before downloading the .txt file.
