What happens to your data
Kept
- All the text, with paragraphs and list items, in UTF-8
- Footnotes appear as numbered notes at the end
- Tables become simple text tables
- Text, tables and basic formatting of old Microsoft Works documents are read
- A plain .txt file that any device and program can open
Good to know
- Plain text has no formatting: bold, italic, colors, fonts, headers, footers and comments are dropped.
- Pictures are dropped, and a link keeps its words but not its address.
- WPS is a rare format that no current program documents well. Complex layouts can come out simpler than the original, so check the result.
- Files up to 300 MB are accepted.

WPS vs TXT
WPS
A WPS file is a Microsoft Works word-processor document, from a discontinued program that came with old Windows PCs. Modern Word can't open it, so people convert it to DOCX or PDF.
Used in: Microsoft Works documents · Old Windows PC files
TXT
A TXT file is plain, unformatted text — no fonts, no styling, no structure beyond line breaks. The simplest and most universal document format there is, readable by literally anything.
Used in: Plain notes · Logs · Universal compatibility
