  3. 3

    Download the result

    Save each file individually or everything at once as a ZIP.

What is Word?

DOCX is the Microsoft Word document format. It opens in Word, Google Docs, Pages and LibreOffice, and keeps headings, lists and tables editable.

What is Text?

Plain text contains only characters with no formatting. It opens anywhere and is easy to search, edit, or paste into other tools.

Is it private?

Yes. Unlike upload-based converters, ZapMorph processes files inside your browser tab, so the file stays on your device. It is never transmitted, stored or logged — close the tab and it’s gone.

Frequently asked questions

Is the word to text converter free?

Yes. Convert 1 file a day without an account, or 5 files a day with a free account. Pro removes all daily limits.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device. We only count how many files you convert — never their names or contents.

What is the maximum file size?

Up to 25 MB per file without an account, 50 MB with a free account, and 1 GB on Pro. Very large files also depend on your device’s memory.

Can I convert multiple Word files at once?

Yes. Select several Word files at once — up to 5 on the free plan or 50 on Pro — and download all results in a single ZIP.

Does it work on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android?

Yes. It works in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari — on desktop and mobile, with nothing to install.
