Frequently asked questions

Is converting HTML to TXT free?

Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.

Are my HTML files uploaded anywhere?

Plain text, Markdown, HTML and Word files, and PDFs turned into pictures or text, are converted inside your browser and never leave your device. Other conversions, and files over 200 MB, are sent to our server over an encrypted connection and deleted 72 hours after the conversion; the server has no internet access while it works on your file. The button says "Upload and convert" whenever that happens.

How large can the HTML file be?

Files up to 200 MB are converted right in your browser. Larger files, up to 1 GB, are converted on our server.

Will the TXT look the same as the HTML?

No: a TXT file holds only the text. Fonts, colors, tables and pictures are not kept.

Can I convert several HTML files at once?

Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
