The #1 Free File-to-Text Converter — 100% Private
Most online converters require you to upload your files to a remote server. That means your confidential documents — contracts, financial reports, medical records — travel through the internet and sit on someone else's machine. DragKit is different. Every conversion happens right here, inside your browser, using JavaScript. No server. No upload. No risk.
🔒 Zero-Upload Privacy
Your files never leave your device. We physically cannot see, store, or share your documents because there is no backend server. This makes DragKit the safest converter for sensitive files like legal documents, financial spreadsheets, and internal reports.
⚡ Instant Conversion
No waiting in server queues. DragKit processes your files instantly using your browser's computing power. Convert a 50-page Word document to Markdown in under 2 seconds. Works on any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
🤖 Optimized for AI Workflows
DragKit outputs clean, structured Markdown that uses fewer tokens when pasted into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any LLM. Extract text from PDFs, Word docs, and Excel files, then feed them directly into your AI prompts without manual cleanup.
How It Works
- Drag & Drop your files (Word, Excel, PDF, CSV, JSON) onto the dropzone — or click "Browse Files" to select them.
- Instant Processing — DragKit converts your files to clean Markdown text in milliseconds, entirely in your browser.
- Copy or Download — click "Copy Markdown" to paste directly into your AI tool, or "Download .md" to save the file.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is DragKit really free?
Yes, completely free with no limits. There are no premium tiers, no file size restrictions, and no daily quotas. DragKit is and will always be 100% free to use.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes! After your first visit, DragKit installs a Service Worker that caches the app. You can convert files even when you're completely offline — on a plane, in the field, or without Wi-Fi.
Which file formats are supported?
DragKit supports Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PDF, CSV, and JSON files. All are converted to clean Markdown format. You can also drag multiple files at once for batch conversion.
Is my data safe? Can you see my files?
Your data is completely safe. DragKit runs entirely in your browser — there is no server to receive your files. It is technically impossible for us to access, read, or store any of your documents. This is by design.
Why Markdown output instead of plain text?
Markdown preserves the structure of your document (headings, tables, lists, bold/italic) while remaining lightweight. This is especially important for AI prompts, where structured input produces better, more accurate responses while using fewer tokens.
Can I use DragKit on mobile?
Yes, DragKit is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. You can use the "Browse Files" button on mobile to select files from your device or cloud storage.
