What is TXT?
TXT is plain text with no formatting, fonts or layout — just characters. It is the most portable, future-proof way to store words, readable on any device and in any editor, which makes it perfect for notes, logs and source data.
What is DOCX?
DOCX is the modern Microsoft Word document format and the most common format for editable text documents. It stores formatting, styles, images and tables in a compressed XML package that opens in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and many other editors.

Why convert TXT to DOCX?
Converting TXT to DOCX gives you a file that is better suited to editable text documents and reports, letters and essays, and that opens it up to far more apps, devices and websites.
What DOCX gives you: fully editable with rich formatting, opens in most word processors and supports tracked changes and comments.
Where TXT falls short: no formatting, images or styling, no layout control and no structure beyond line breaks. Converting keeps your content while moving to a format that matches where the file is going.
