What this tool does
This text utility measures the contents of a plain-text file, including words, characters and related reading statistics.
What to check before converting
Keep a copy of the original file before conversion. If the destination is used by another application or workflow, check its format requirements and open the converted result in that destination application when possible.
What the output can preserve
The result is written as plain text using the application's conversion engine. Content that has a direct equivalent in the destination format is generally easier to preserve than features that are specific to the source application.
Known limitations
Conversion cannot guarantee that every source-specific feature has an exact txt equivalent. Review the output when formatting, formulas, metadata or other application-specific features matter.
