Drop DOC files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.
Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.
Save the TXT, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The DOC to TXT converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your documents are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
DOC is a legacy format that newer apps and online editors handle poorly. Plain text opens on every device and is easy to search or paste elsewhere. DOC is at home in compatibility with very old copies of Word; TXT is the usual choice for notes, logs and text that must be read by anything.
Only the main body text of the old Word document is read; formatting is ignored, and headers, footers, footnotes and text boxes are left out.
DOC is the binary format used by Word 97 through Word 2003. Word replaced it with DOCX in 2007, and newer tools increasingly treat DOC as a legacy format.

No. The DOC to TXT conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Text is kept. Formatting carries over only as far as TXT supports it.

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the DOC file, press Convert and save the TXT. There is nothing to install.
Yes. Files up to 150 MB are accepted; a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
