Frequently asked questions
Is List to Text free to use?
Yes. List to Text is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does List to Text upload your List file to a server?
No. List to Text processes your List file inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in List to Text.
Do I need to install anything to use List to Text?
No installation is needed. List to Text runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Will List to Text keep the original quality?
List to Text preserves the source content faithfully where Text supports it. Where the two formats differ, the tool favours visual fidelity over the smallest possible output.
What happens to your List file when I close the tab?
It is discarded. List to Text keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
