What Is DOCX?

DOCX is the default document format for Microsoft Word. It uses XML-based formatting and supports rich text, images, tables, headers, footers, and complex document layouts. DOCX has become a standard format for document exchange across platforms.

Converting DOCX to other formats may result in some formatting differences, particularly for complex layouts, custom fonts, or embedded objects.

What Is TXT?

TXT is a simple file format that stores unformatted text. It contains only raw text characters without any styling, images, or layout information. TXT files are universally readable by any text editor or programming environment.
