How do I convert HTML to TXT?

Add your HTML file to the upload area above, then press Convert. The TXT file downloads straight to your device. You do not need an account, and there is no watermark.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will still work.

Does converting to TXT reduce quality?

Nothing is re-encoded — the content is taken out of the HTML container as-is, so its quality is unchanged.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 100 MB per file for this conversion. Because the work happens in your browser, the practical limit is your device's memory — larger files work on a desktop with plenty of RAM and may fail on an older phone.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and press Convert All. Each file is processed independently, so one failure does not stop the rest, and you can download everything together as a ZIP.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. FileTools360 works in mobile browsers on iOS and Android, including choosing files straight from your camera roll. Very large videos may run out of memory on a phone — those are better converted on a laptop.

HTML and TXT explained

HTML is the markup language of the web, describing document structure — headings, paragraphs, lists, links — which browsers then render.

Plain text is characters and nothing else — no fonts, no sizes, no layout. It is the most durable digital format there is, readable by every computer built in the last fifty years.

Where HTML files come from: Web pages, email templates and exports from documentation tools.
Where TXT is used: Notes, logs, configuration files and code.

HTML vs TXT

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

HTML compared with TXT
Property	Source	Target
Compression	None	None
Introduced	1993	—
Browser support	Every browser.	Everything, forever.

HTML is stronger at: Renders in every browser. Semantic structure aids accessibility and search engines. Styleable with CSS.
TXT is stronger at: Readable everywhere, forever. Tiny files. Works with every command-line tool.

Why convert HTML to TXT?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of HTML: you need a self-contained, fixed-layout file to send someone. TXT is the better fit when content matters and presentation does not.

HTML limitations that prompt the switch: Layout depends on the renderer and available fonts. Not a fixed-layout format. Requires separate assets for images.
What you give up: No formatting at all. No images or tables.

What is preserved when converting HTML to TXT?

Both formats store the content without discarding data, so this conversion preserves it exactly. The file size may change because the two formats compress differently, but the content itself is unaffected.
