Frequently asked questions
How do I get the text out of a .docx?+
Drop the file here. The tool unzips the .docx in your browser, reads word/document.xml and returns the plain text — paragraphs, tabs and breaks intact.
Does it work for .doc (old Word)?+
This tool handles the modern .docx format. Legacy binary .doc files use a different structure and aren't supported — re-save as .docx first.
Are images and formatting kept?+
No — it returns plain text only. Bold, fonts, images and tables are dropped, which is ideal when you just need the words.
Is my document uploaded?+
No. The .docx is opened and read entirely on your device.
