Pull the words out of a Word document without Microsoft Office: for copying into an email, a website, a form or an AI tool. Choose plain text, Markdown that keeps headings, bold, lists and links, or clean HTML without Word’s messy styling. It works for documents made in Word, Google Docs (downloaded as .docx) and LibreOffice.

Questions
Does it open old .doc files?
No, only .docx (Word 2007 and later). Open the .doc in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice and save it as .docx first.
What happens to images and tables?
Plain text keeps the words from tables in reading order. Markdown and HTML keep headings, lists, bold, italics and links; images are left out to keep the text clean.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything happens inside your browser. The open-source library the tool needs is downloaded once from a public CDN; your files never leave your device.
Is my data private?
Yes. Everything happens inside your own browser: nothing you type or choose is uploaded to us or anyone else.
Is it free?
Completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it. Light ads keep the site running.
