Open the TXT to Word Converter — it runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
Plain text is easy to produce and hard to collaborate on. You can't comment on a .txt, track changes or add a heading. When notes, transcripts or exported text need to go through a review, a Word document is what people expect.
Good candidates
- Meeting and interview transcripts from Zoom, Teams or a transcription app.
- Notes from a plain-text notes app.
- Exported text from older systems.
- Drafts written in a distraction-free editor.

Text with Markdown?
If your text uses # headings and **bold**, Markdown to Word turns them into real Word formatting instead of leaving the symbols in.

FAQs
How are lines handled?
Each line of the text file becomes its own paragraph in the Word document.
Can I convert transcripts from Zoom or Teams?
Yes. Export the transcript as .txt and convert it. You can then add headings, comments and track changes in Word.
Do I need Word installed?
No, the DOCX is created in your browser. You can open it in Word, Google Docs, Pages or LibreOffice.
Is the text uploaded?
No. The Word document is created in your browser.
Will my line breaks be kept?
