FAQ

Can this convert a .docx file to text?

No—this tool works with pasted text/RTF/HTML only. For .docx, open it in Word and copy the content into the input.

Which mode should I use to open the result in Microsoft Word?

Use Text → RTF and download the .rtf. Word opens RTF reliably.

How do I paste into Word and keep line breaks?

Use Text → Word HTML, copy the output, then paste into Word. Line breaks are converted to <br> for consistent pasting.

Will the RTF → text conversion work for complex RTF?

It handles common basics like \par, \tab, and simple escapes. Very complex RTF may not extract perfectly.

Does the tool upload my text anywhere?

No. Conversions run locally in your browser and the tool does not make network requests.

What does “Bullets from "- " lines” do?

It changes lines that start with “- ” or “* ” into “• ” so lists look better when pasted into Word.

Why do my quotes change when I enable straight quotes?

That option converts curly quotes (smart quotes) into plain ASCII quotes, which can reduce formatting issues between apps.
