    How do I convert a PDF file to TXT?

    1. Drop your files

      Drag your PDF files into the area above or click “Choose files”. You can add several at once.

    2. Conversion starts by itself

      Your browser reads each document and creates the matching TXT file. Nothing is sent over the internet.

    3. Download the result

      Download your TXT files one by one, or all together with “Download all”.

    The PDF format

    PDF is the universal document format: it looks the same on every device, keeps its layout and prints without surprises.

    Text copies badly out of a PDF: line breaks in the wrong place, mixed-up columns, a selection that spills over. Getting its plain text into a .txt file makes it easy to reread, search or reuse.

    The TXT format

    TXT is the simplest text file there is: plain text with no formatting, like the files created by Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on a Mac. It opens on any device.

    Plain text is ideal for reusing content: pasting it elsewhere, searching it, translating it or archiving it without stray formatting.

    Why convert your documents with Konvizi?

    Résumés, letters, notes, minutes: your text and Word documents are converted on your device, without going through a server. Text keeps its accents and special characters, Devanagari included, and the result is ready in a second.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is converting PDF to TXT free?

    Yes, completely. No sign-up, no watermark, no maximum number of files: you can convert as many files as you like.

    Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

    No. Everything happens in your browser, on your device. Your files are never sent over the internet: nobody but you can see them.

    Can I get the text out of a scanned PDF?

    No. A scanned PDF contains only a picture of each page, with no text: that would need optical character recognition (OCR), which Konvizi does not do. For PDFs created on a computer (Word documents, invoices, emails saved as PDF), the text is extracted page by page, without the formatting or the images.

    Can I convert a password-protected PDF?

    No. A protected PDF cannot be read by the tool: remove the protection first, then try again.

    How can I check that my files are not uploaded?

    Open your browser’s developer tools (F12 key), go to the “Network” tab and run a conversion: no request carries your file. The site also enforces a security rule (Content-Security-Policy) that forbids the browser from contacting any site other than konvizi.com, and konvizi.com is a static site with no service able to receive files.

    Does it work on iPhone and Android?

    Yes. Konvizi works in the browser of your phone or tablet (Safari, Chrome…) just like on a computer, with no app to install. Very large files are processed faster on a computer, which has more memory.
