QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert LUAU to TXT?
Yes - LUAU converts to TXT.

Luau source is stored as plain text, so changing the extension to .txt makes it open in any reader without altering a single character. Nothing is converted; only the extension changes.

Why convert LUAU to TXT?

People rename Luau to .TXT so the file opens in any basic text viewer, is easy to email, or can be posted where code extensions are blocked. The content stays byte-for-byte identical.

No. The bytes are identical; only the extension changes.
