About formats

HTML

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. HTML defines the structure of web content using elements and tags, and can be styled with CSS and made interactive with JavaScript. HTML files are universally supported across all modern browsers and editors.

TXT

TXT is a plain text file format that stores unformatted character data without any styling or metadata. The TXT format is universally supported by virtually every text editor and operating system, making it the simplest and most portable way to exchange text content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting HTML to TXT free?
Yes. This HTML → TXT converter runs entirely in your browser and is completely free — no account, no credits, no watermark.
Which devices and platforms can I use to convert HTML to TXT?
Any modern device with a current web browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to install — the conversion happens locally.
Are my HTML files uploaded to a server?
No. Files never leave your device. The entire HTML → TXT conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.
Can I convert multiple HTML files at once?
Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many HTML files as you like and convert them to TXT in one pass, then download the results together.
What is the maximum file size?
There is no fixed server-side limit because the conversion happens in your browser. Practical limits depend on the available memory and CPU of your device.
Will converting HTML to TXT lose quality?
No. TXT is a lossless format (or used in a lossless mode here), so the original data from your HTML file is preserved bit-for-bit in the converted result.
Will transparent areas of my HTML file be kept in TXT?
No — TXT does not support transparency. Transparent areas of your HTML file will be flattened onto a solid background colour during conversion.
How will the file size change after converting HTML to TXT?
Both formats use comparable compression, so the TXT output will be similar in size to your HTML file — typically within 10–20% of each other.
