PROCESSING TRANSPARENCY
Trust center ↗Know what happens before you upload.
A temporary per-request workspace is cleaned when processing ends.
Plain text does not preserve fonts, colors, images, page layout, or rich Word styling. Content in unusual drawing objects, text boxes, headers, or other advanced structures may not follow the same visual reading order you see in Word. This extractor targets modern DOCX; legacy DOC files should use the appropriate LibreOffice-backed workflow first.
Compare the beginning and end of the text with the original document and inspect at least one table when present. If visual reading order matters, review the output manually rather than treating TXT as an archival equivalent of the original Word layout.

INFINITY INTELLIGENCE
A copilot that understands this tool.
Ask what a setting means, whether this is the right tool, how to recover from an error, or what to do with the result next. Infinity receives safe context from this page — not the file contents automatically.
PRACTICAL CONTEXT
What this tool is good at — and where to be careful.
When this tool makes sense
Use this when the readable content of a modern DOCX matters more than Word formatting, for example to prepare plain text for search, review, lightweight processing, or a system that does not need document styles. The extractor includes normal paragraphs and also walks table cells so useful tabular text is not silently ignored.
What the engine actually does
The validated DOCX is opened with python-docx. Infinity collects non-empty paragraphs in document order, then walks table rows and joins cell text with tab separators. The combined content is written as UTF-8 plain text. If no extractable text is found, the conversion fails clearly instead of returning a misleading empty file.
What it does not promise
Plain text does not preserve fonts, colors, images, page layout, or rich Word styling. Content in unusual drawing objects, text boxes, headers, or other advanced structures may not follow the same visual reading order you see in Word. This extractor targets modern DOCX; legacy DOC files should use the appropriate LibreOffice-backed workflow first.
A 20-second quality check
Compare the beginning and end of the text with the original document and inspect at least one table when present. If visual reading order matters, review the output manually rather than treating TXT as an archival equivalent of the original Word layout.
Frequently asked questions
Are images included in TXT?
No. Plain text cannot preserve Word images or graphic objects as visual content.
Does it extract table text?
Yes. The current implementation appends table rows and separates cells with tab characters.
