- Why convert files to plain text before using an LLM?
- Uploading whole documents burns tokens on headers, styling, and binary overhead. Plain text gives the model the same information in a fraction of the context window - often cutting input size by 50–80%.
- Which file formats does TextLift support?
- PDF, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xlsx, .xls), CSV, JSON, XML, HTML, plain text, Markdown, EPUB, and ZIP archives containing supported documents.
- Does TextLift store my uploaded files?
- Files are uploaded temporarily for conversion and removed after extraction. Sign in to use TextLift - uploads are scoped to your account prefix in secure storage.
