Stripping a document down to its words for scripts, analysis or systems that choke on formatting.
DOCX arrived with Office 2007 and replaced the old binary DOC. Underneath it is a ZIP archive of XML files, which is why it is smaller, harder to corrupt and readable by software other than Word. It stores structure - headings, paragraphs, styles - so text reflows naturally when you edit it.
A TXT file is just characters, with no formatting, no images and no structure. That poverty is the point: nothing can be lost in translation, every tool on earth can read it, and the file stays tiny.

Only the words survive. Images, tables, headings and every trace of formatting are removed, which is usually the whole point.
Most documents finish in a few seconds. Conversion runs on our server rather than in your browser, so the slow part is usually the upload. Long reports and image-heavy files take proportionally longer.
Your file is uploaded to our server because the conversion runs there. A cleanup task runs every hour and deletes anything older than an hour, so nothing you upload survives more than about two hours. We do not open your files, we do not keep copies, and no account is needed to use the converter.
