Document tools

Read text out of documents, convert between plain text, Markdown and HTML, and create simple Word files.

10 tools

Tools

  • Markdown Formatter

    Tidy Markdown: consistent headings and bullets, clean spacing, code blocks left alone.

  • Extract Text from File

    Get the plain text out of PDF, Word (DOCX), OpenDocument, RTF and HTML files.

  • Text to PDF

    Turn plain text into a simple, printable PDF document.

  • Text to Word

    Turn plain text into a Word document (.docx) that opens in Word, Pages and Google Docs.

  • Markdown to HTML

    Convert Markdown into clean HTML — headings, lists, links, tables and code.

  • HTML to Text

    Strip tags from HTML and keep the readable text, with paragraphs and lists intact.

  • PDF to Text

    Extract the selectable text from PDF files and save it as a TXT file.

  • PDF to Word (Text Only)

    Put the text of a PDF into an editable Word document. Layout, images and tables are not kept.

  • Word to Text

    Extract the text from Word (.docx) documents and save it as TXT.

  • Notes to PDF

    Type or paste notes, choose the page and font size, preview the pages and save a real PDF.

Text in, text out

These tools work with the words in a document. Extracting text keeps paragraphs and line breaks; it doesn’t keep fonts, images or page layout. Creating a Word file from text gives you a clean, editable document you can format further in Word, Pages or Google Docs.

Older formats

Word .docx, OpenDocument .odt, RTF and HTML can be read. Older binary .doc files can’t — open them in Word or Google Docs and save as .docx first.

Questions about document tools

Do my documents get uploaded?

No. Documents are opened by your browser and processed on your device.

Is HTML from my file ever displayed?

No. HTML is read as text only — it is never shown as a web page, and nothing in it can load or run.
