TXT converter

Text and PDF convert in your browser, so the document never leaves your device. Typeset a .txt into a PDF, or lift the text out of a PDF, client-side and free.

What is TXT?

A .txt file is just text with no formatting, fonts, or layout, which is what makes it universal and future-proof. It is the right home for notes, logs, and anything you want every device to open forever. To share it as a fixed page you turn it into a PDF; to pull words back out of a PDF you extract its text layer.

Common questions about TXT

What is a TXT file?
A TXT file is plain text with no formatting, fonts, or layout: just characters and line breaks. It is the most universal document format, readable on any device and in any editor, which makes it ideal for notes, logs, code snippets, and content you want to keep portable and future-proof.
How do I convert TXT to PDF, and does it upload?
TXT converts to PDF entirely in your browser, no upload. The text is typeset onto A4 pages with a standard font, wrapped to the page width, and paginated automatically. Because it runs client-side, a private note or draft never leaves your device. You can confirm this in the Network tab or with the airplane-mode demo on /privacy-proof.
Can I get the text out of a PDF as a TXT file?
Yes. PDF converts to TXT in your browser by extracting the document's text layer. This works well for PDFs that contain real, selectable text. It cannot read scanned or image-only PDFs, because there is no text layer to pull from; that would require OCR, which this conversion does not perform. As with every client pair, the PDF stays on your device.
Will TXT to PDF preserve my exact layout and fonts?
No, and this is worth knowing up front: a TXT file carries no formatting, so the PDF is generated with a standard font, A4 page size, and automatic line wrapping. You will not get custom fonts, columns, or styling, because none of that exists in the source. The result is a clean, readable PDF of your text, not a designed document.
Is there a size limit or cost for TXT and PDF text conversion?
No account is required and client-side conversions are free and unlimited. The work runs in your own browser, so practical limits come from your device's memory rather than a server quota. Typical text files and ordinary PDFs convert quickly on a normal laptop.
