Extract text from Microsoft Office documents (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX) and more. Convert your files to PDF first for best results with our privacy-focused tools. No uploads to external servers.
For optimal text extraction from Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files, we recommend converting them to PDF first, then using our PDF to Text Converter. This ensures the highest accuracy and preserves formatting. Direct browser-based conversion of Office formats requires server-side processing, which compromises privacy.
Follow these simple steps to extract text from any Office document privately and securely.
Open your Word (DOC/DOCX), Excel (XLS/XLSX), or PowerPoint (PPT/PPTX) file in the respective application (Microsoft Office, Google Docs/Sheets/Slides, or LibreOffice).
