What does the DOC to TXT converter do?
+
It converts a DOC document into TXT. Text, paragraph styles, tables, and embedded images are preserved as closely as the target format allows.
Will the formatting of my DOC survive the conversion to TXT?
+
Headings, paragraph styles, tables, and embedded images carry across. Advanced layout (text boxes, complex columns, macros) may simplify when TXT does not support the feature one-for-one.
Is the DOC to TXT conversion reversible?
+
You can convert the TXT back to DOC on this site. If either format involved is lossy, the round-trip is not bit-perfect even though it is visually or audibly close.
What output quality should I expect from DOC to TXT?
+
Default settings target broadcast / web quality — visually identical to the source for most viewers. For archival use, pick the highest quality option in the converter settings.
Is there a file-size limit when converting DOC to TXT?
+
Anonymous uploads are capped at a generous default; signed-in free accounts get a higher cap, and Pro accounts have no per-file limit. Browser memory is usually the practical constraint long before our server-side limits kick in.
Can I batch-convert several DOC files to TXT at once?
+
Yes. Drop or pick multiple DOC files in one upload — the converter processes them in parallel and returns a ZIP of the TXT results. There is no need to repeat the upload step per file.
What happens to my DOC files after the conversion?
+
Uploaded files and TXT outputs are auto-deleted after a short retention window. We do not inspect, share, or train on user files. Direct download links are time-limited and tied to your session.
Can I edit the TXT after converting from DOC?
+
Yes — TXT opens in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and most office suites. Text, formatting, and tables are editable.
Do I need to install software to convert DOC to TXT?
+
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser plus our cloud — no plugin, no install, no admin rights. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android.
Do I need an account to convert DOC to TXT?
+
No. DOC to TXT conversion is free and works without an account. Signing in unlocks higher file-size caps, batch history, and API access.
Is there an API for DOC to TXT conversion?
+
Yes. Every conversion this site offers is also exposed via a JSON API — see /api/ for endpoints, authentication, and rate limits. DOC to TXT is one of the supported pairs.
What if my DOC fails to convert to TXT?
+
Failures are usually caused by corrupted source files or unsupported DOC variants. Re-export from the original app and try again; if it still fails, the contact page forwards the file to support so we can diagnose.
