About Converting AZW3 to TXT
AZW3 is Amazon’s Kindle format that succeeded MOBI, adding better typography and styling. It targets modern Kindle devices and apps. When you need to move away from AZW3, the usual reason is simple: amazon-specific.
Converting your AZW3 e-book to TXT solves that. TXT is unformatted plain text — the simplest, most portable document format. It contains only characters, no styling, and opens instantly everywhere. In practice you gain universally readable and tiny files. PrivConvert runs the whole AZW3-to-TXT conversion in server memory and deletes your file the instant the TXT is ready — nothing is stored, logged or reused.
When this conversion helps
- You need universally readable
- You need tiny files
- You need future-proof
- Reworking a fixed AZW3 file back into an editable TXT document
- Escaping a proprietary AZW3 file for the open TXT standard
Tips for best results
- After converting, open the TXT and skim the formatting — complex layouts occasionally need a small touch-up.
- Files up to 250 MB are supported, and you can batch-convert several AZW3 files at once; each is processed privately and deleted immediately.
How to Convert AZW3 to TXT Online
Here is how a AZW3 → TXT conversion works on PrivConvert, from start to finish. The key change: a fixed AZW3 becomes an editable TXT you can rework.
Drag and drop your file into the upload area, click to browse your device, or paste a URL to a file hosted online. You can upload files up to 250 MB and batch convert up to 20 files at once.
Once uploaded, the conversion from AZW3 to TXT starts automatically. The process runs entirely in an isolated environment - your data never leaves the secure pipeline.
Your converted file is ready instantly. Click the download button to save it to your device. The file is deleted from memory immediately after download.
Private by design, not as an afterthought
Most online converters upload your files to a server, keep them for days, and may mine them for AI training or resale. PrivConvert was built the opposite way — around your privacy.
Runs in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS — no install, plugin or desktop software needed.
Each job runs in an isolated in-memory sandbox, so most conversions finish in seconds instead of waiting in a queue.
We never keep a copy. Once your TXT is delivered, both the original and the result are gone — there is nothing left to leak or misuse.
Every conversion runs in its own locked-down process with no network access, so files can never leak or interfere with one another.
