Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my TXT file so much larger than the DOCX?
TXT stores data uncompressed or with less compression, preserving maximum quality at the cost of file size. A DOCX file uses compression to reduce size. Expect TXT files to be 5-10x larger, which is normal and necessary for maintaining quality.
Can I convert multiple DOCX files at once?
Yes! Free users can convert up to 3 files per batch (5 conversions/day total). Premium users get batch conversion of up to 20 files with automatic ZIP download. Simply select multiple files when uploading.
Is my data safe during conversion?
Yes! Files are processed on GDPR-compliant European servers with automatic deletion after 5 minutes. We don't store, analyze, or share your files. The conversion is secure and private.
What are the conversion limits?
Free: 5 conversions per day, max 100MB per file, up to 3 files per batch. Premium: Unlimited conversions, max 500MB per file, up to 20 files per batch with ZIP download.
How long does conversion take?
Most conversions complete in seconds. Small files (under 10MB) typically convert in 1-5 seconds. Larger files or complex formats may take 10-30 seconds. Browser-based conversions are usually faster than server-processed ones.
Do I need to install any software?
No! Everything works directly in your web browser. No downloads, no installations, no plugins required. Just upload your file and convert. Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices.
