Free online 602 to TXT converter

A legacy Text602 document may need conversion when a current text editor, script, or archive workflow cannot read its .602 file. TXT keeps the text in a format supported by basic editors and text-processing tools, but drops word-processor layout.

What the 602 format is

.602 is the document format used by Text602 (T602), a DOS word processor made by Software602 and used mainly in Czech- and Slovak-speaking regions. Current word processors have limited support for these older files.

What the TXT format is

TXT stores text without fonts, page layout, or other word-processing formatting. Its broad support makes it useful for plain-text editing, searching, scripts, and archiving text, but it cannot preserve a document’s original appearance.

Online on 101convert.com

1. Open the converter on this page and upload the .602 file. You can add several files for batch conversion.
2. Choose TXT as the output format and start the conversion. It runs on the server with LibreOffice; the page shows the per-file size limit.
3. Download the converted TXT file.

Offline with desktop software

LibreOffice Writer is free and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the document with File → Open, then save it with File → Save As and select Text (.txt) as the file type. In the text export options, select UTF-8 if the destination software supports it.

Quality and compatibility

Check Czech or Slovak diacritics in Writer before saving and in the resulting TXT file. If characters are already garbled when the .602 file opens, changing the TXT export encoding cannot correct a source-import problem. Tables, columns, and page layout may be reduced to plain text and spacing, so inspect structured content after conversion.
