What this tool does
Extract Text from DOCX pulls the readable words out of a Word document and gives them back as plain text you can copy or download. It reads the body, headings, lists, and tables and strips the formatting away, leaving clean text you can drop straight into another app. No copy-pasting page by page.
How it works
Drop in your .docx and the tool unpacks it locally and assembles the document text. Review it in the preview, then copy it to your clipboard or download a .txt file. The document is read in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
When to use Extract Text from DOCX
Moving text from a Word file into a plain-text editor or CMS
Pulling content out for a translator or summarizer
Grabbing the wording without any of the styling
Saving a quick text-only backup of a document
FAQ
Is text inside tables included?
Yes. Text from tables is pulled out along with the rest of the document.
