Frequently asked questions
Does converting TXT to DOCX reduce quality?
No—DOCX preserves the original fidelity. You still want to open the converted file once to confirm fonts, colors, or audio loudness survived the transfer.
Can I add transparency during the TXT to DOCX conversion?
DOCX supports alpha channels. After converting, open the file in an editor such as Microsoft Word and remove any backgrounds you no longer need.
Will the layout stay intact after exporting to DOCX?
AnyConvert keeps fonts and spacing intact whenever possible. If you rely on custom fonts, embed them or convert text to outlines before uploading.
