Questions

How do I convert POTX to TXT?

Drop your POTX file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the TXT downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the presentation editor.

Is my POTX file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.

What happens to the other pages?

The text of every page is kept, one after another.

Can I convert several POTX files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every TXT inside.
