Maintains Basic Text Alignment as Plain Text Flow

When you convert DOCX to TXT, it's normal to lose layout and formatting. But our tool still keeps your text readable and well-structured. It removes things like center or justified alignment but keeps your sentences and sections flowing naturally, so the text doesn't feel messy or all over the place.

This helps a lot when you're copying the content into editors, coding tools, or plain note apps. Even without bold or italic formatting, your ideas stay organized and easy to follow.

Ignores Embedded Images and Tables

If you're using a tool to convert DOCX to TXT online free, you'll notice that images and tables are not included. That's because the TXT format is made for plain text only. This means that any visual elements are skipped to keep the output clean and simple.

This is useful when you only need the written part of a document, such as for notes or scripts. You won't have any extra clutter to remove, making the text easier to work with later.
