Does it preserve formatting?

No, this tool specifically extracts 'raw text' only. Bold, italics, colors, and font styles will be removed.

Can I extract text from old .doc files?

Only DOCX is supported. Open an older DOC file in Word or LibreOffice and save it as DOCX first.

Where is my document processed?

Text extraction runs locally in your browser; the document is not uploaded to a conversion server.
