Extract plain text from Word
This tool extracts the plain text from a Word document (.docx, .doc or .odt) into a .txt file with LibreOffice — no formatting, just the words, ready for scripting or plain-text use.
When to use it
- Get a clean plain-text copy of a document.
- Strip formatting before pasting elsewhere.
- Feed document text into another tool.
Private & secure
The plain text is extracted from your Word document with LibreOffice on our server. Your file is sent encrypted into a one-time workspace and deleted the moment the .txt is returned — the document is never stored or read.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
Yes. Pulling clean plain text out of a .docx runs through LibreOffice server-side, so the file is uploaded for the conversion. It is processed in isolation and removed as soon as the text file is sent.
Is it free? Is there a watermark or size limit?
Completely free, no sign-up, and no limits. Word files up to 100 MB each can be converted.
