MOBI to TXT Converter

Summary

Upload a DRM-free .mobi file and download its plain text content instantly — no server upload, no software needed.

How it works

1. Drop or select a .mobi (or .prc / .azw) file using the upload area.
2. The tool reads the PalmDOC header to locate text records and detect the compression type.
3. Each text record is decompressed in-browser using the PalmDOC LZ77 algorithm.
4. HTML tags, MOBI-specific markup, and repeated whitespace are stripped to produce clean plain text.
5. A preview of the extracted text is shown and a .txt file is offered for download.

Use cases

• Extracting readable text from DRM-free MOBI ebooks for offline reference or note-taking.
• Converting personal MOBI files (e.g. from Smashwords or self-published exports) to plain text.
• Feeding ebook content into a text editor, search tool, or language-processing workflow.
• Quickly previewing a MOBI file's text without installing Calibre or a Kindle app.
• Archiving ebook content in a simple, universally readable format.
• Removing all formatting from a MOBI file to prepare text for copy-editing.
