DOCX to TXT
Extract the main body wording from an unencrypted DOCX into a UTF-8 text file for search, review, or plain-text reuse.

DOCX - 15 MB
No file upload
This operation runs with browser APIs. Nirmion receives catalogue requests, not the selected source bytes.
Original stays unchanged
The converter creates a separately named output. It never writes back into the source file.
Bounded work

Plain-language method
What is read from the DOCX package
A DOCX is a ZIP package. Nirmion safely expands the bounded package, reads word/document.xml in document order, maps text, tabs, breaks, paragraphs, and table rows to plain text, and ignores executable macro behavior.
- 01Choose a valid source
Use an unencrypted DOCX. This route reads the main document body, so content stored only in headers, footers, comments, notes, drawings, or linked objects may be absent.
- 02Review the conversion choices
Preserve keeps up to one blank line between groups. Compact reduces repeated paragraph gaps for logs, indexing, or copy-and-paste workflows.
- 03Inspect the separate result
The UTF-8 download ends in _nirmion_tools_extracted.txt and includes a byte-order marker for broad text-editor compatibility.
Useful when
Practical jobs this tool handles
- Make document wording searchable in a plain-text workflow.
- Recover the main text for a content migration.
- Review copy without Word layout or embedded objects.
Before converting
Check what plain text cannot carry
- Compare tables and lists with the source document.
- Check headers, footers, notes, and text boxes separately.
- Keep the DOCX as the source of record for formatting and revisions.
Know the boundary
Plain text is intentionally lossy
Formatting, images, hyperlinks, comments, tracked-change context, footnotes, headers, footers, text boxes, and layout are not promised in the TXT result.
Quick answers
Questions before you convert
This tool extracts wording; it does not convert Word layout.
Can it run DOCX macros?
No. It reads package files as data and never executes VBA.
Why is header text missing?
Only the main document body is extracted in this release.
What does compact spacing change?
It removes repeated blank lines; it does not join words or rewrite sentences.
