Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting JPG to TXT free?
Yes. This JPG → 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 JPG 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 JPG files uploaded to a server?
No. Files never leave your device. The entire JPG → TXT conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.
Can I convert multiple JPG files at once?
Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many JPG 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 JPG to TXT lose quality?
No. TXT is a lossless format (or used in a lossless mode here), so the original data from your JPG file is preserved bit-for-bit in the converted result.
Does TXT support transparency?
No — TXT has no alpha channel. Transparent areas of your JPG file will be filled with a solid background colour in the converted file.
How will the file size change after converting JPG to TXT?
Both formats use comparable compression, so the TXT output will be similar in size to your JPG file — typically within 10–20% of each other.
