Frequently asked questions

Are tables or images preserved?

No, this tool only extracts paragraph and heading text. To keep them as structure, use ODT to HTML or ODT to Markdown instead.

Does it work with password-protected documents?

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