Convert ODT to TXT

The words, and nothing else. TXT stores characters and line breaks, so bold, italics, headings, fonts, colours, tables, images, headers and footers are all discarded — not degraded, removed. That is the correct outcome when you want the text for indexing, diffing or scripting, and the wrong one if the formatting carried meaning. Plain text is the most durable format there is: it will still be readable when every proprietary format of this decade is unopenable. TXT carries no styling, no images, no tables and no page structure, so any layout in the source is discarded permanently.

Body text, headings, lists and simple tables move across cleanly in both directions. The known casualties are the same ones LibreOffice has always had: tracked changes, comments anchored to ranges, footnote numbering schemes and nested table borders. Check those specifically rather than assuming the whole document made it.

Yes, and the ODT would not have. Browsers ship a decoder for TXT and none for ODT, so an ODT link forces a download while a TXT renders inline. That is usually the deciding factor when the file is going onto a web page rather than into an application.

Yes — basic ODT → TXT conversion is free with no registration required. Premium adds higher per-file size limits, more parallel batch workers, longer retention, and removes ads.

Free accounts: up to 100 MB per ODT file. Premium: typically 1 GB per file depending on the source type. Very large files are split into chunks server-side when the TXT format allows.

Conversion preserves all information that both ODT and TXT can represent. Format-specific features the TXT cannot represent (e.g. vector data in raster output, formulas in plain-text output) are rasterized or stripped — the result page lists what changed. An ODT is a ZIP of XML files, structurally similar to DOCX but with an open specification designed by committee rather than by a vendor. A TXT file is just an encoded character stream, normally UTF-8 today, with the only structural markers being newlines.

Yes — drop multiple ODT files into the upload zone and they are queued in parallel. Premium runs more parallel workers; on a 50-file batch this is the difference between minutes and seconds.

Yes — the UI is responsive and the conversion pipeline runs server-side, so mobile devices upload-then-download just like desktops. iOS and Android browser file pickers (camera roll, Files app) work end-to-end.

Chrome, Firefox, Safari (15+), Edge, and Opera. The converter uses standard `<input type="file">` upload — no WebAssembly or PWA dependency — so even older browsers work to upload an ODT and download the TXT.

Yes — uploaded ODT files are processed in isolated workers and deleted within minutes. We never view, retain, or share content. The retention window is at /privacy/. ODT is the mandated format in several national and EU public administrations and carries no vendor lock-in.

Disable any pop-up blocker, then click the download button manually. The result link stays active for 24 hours, so if your network drops mid-download you can retry from the result page without re-uploading the ODT.
