TXT converter
Convert your TXT files to any format.
What is a TXT file?
TXT is the simplest document format — just characters, no formatting, readable by every application on every platform since the dawn of computing.
First released in 1963 by ASCII Committee, it uses lossless compression and no transparency, which makes it best suited to plain readable text without any formatting — maximum compatibility and minimum file size.

Advantages of the TXT format
Opens absolutely anywhere
TXT files open in every text editor, terminal, browser, IDE and email client on every platform — zero compatibility issues.
Tiny file size
Without formatting or embedded objects, plain text files are as small as possible — ideal for logs, scripts and data pipelines.
Universally processable
Every scripting language, database import tool and search engine can ingest plain text directly — the lowest common denominator for data exchange.

TXT: frequently asked questions
Will I lose formatting converting to TXT?
Yes — TXT has no concept of bold, italic, fonts, tables or images. Only the raw text content is kept. If you need to preserve formatting, convert to DOCX instead.
Is the conversion private?
PDF-to-TXT text extraction runs on our servers — your file is deleted immediately after conversion and never stored.
