Frequently asked questions

Are tables or images preserved?

No, this tool only extracts the paragraph text. To keep headings and lists, use DOCX to HTML or DOCX to Markdown instead.

Does it work with password-protected documents?

No, only with unencrypted .docx files. If the file is protected, remove the password in Word before uploading it.
