Need to Share Text Professionally?

Plain text files (.txt) are universal but look unprofessional when shared. No formatting, no pagination, no consistent display across different computers. Recipients see raw text in whatever font their system defaults to.

Converting TXT to PDF creates a proper document with consistent formatting, pagination, and professional appearance. Your text displays identically on every device.

How to Convert TXT to PDF

Upload your TXT file – Any plain text file
Confirm PDF output – PDF creates formatted document
Download your file – Get your shareable document

Conversion happens in your browser—no word processor needed.

Why Convert TXT to PDF?

Consistent Appearance

PDF displays identically everywhere. Your text looks the same on Windows, Mac, phones, and tablets—no font substitution or layout changes.

Professional Presentation

PDF is the standard for business documents. Sending a formatted PDF looks more professional than attaching a raw text file.

Print-Ready Format

PDFs print reliably with proper page breaks, margins, and formatting. Text files print with unpredictable results.

Document Preservation

PDF is an archival format. Your text is locked in place, protected from accidental modification or encoding issues.

What Gets Added

The conversion enhances your plain text with:

Clean formatting – Readable font and line spacing
Page margins – Proper document layout
Pagination – Long text split into pages
Consistent encoding – Characters display correctly

Common Use Cases

Code Documentation

README files and code comments become shareable documents. Monospace formatting preserves code structure.

Notes and Drafts

Convert Notepad files or text notes to PDF for sharing or archiving. Your quick notes become proper documents.

Log Files

System logs and output files become readable documents for reports and documentation.

Email Content

Convert saved text to PDF for attachment. More professional than pasting text in the email body.

Formatting Options

The converter applies clean, readable formatting:

Font: Clear, readable typeface
Line spacing: Comfortable reading density
Margins: Standard document margins
Page size: Letter or A4 format

Batch Convert Multiple Files

Have many text files to convert? Upload all of them and convert to PDF in one batch. Perfect for converting documentation or log archives.

Works on Any Device

Convert TXT to PDF in your browser:

Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
iPhone, iPad, Android

Pro Tip

For code files, rename .py, .js, or other extensions to .txt before converting. The content converts the same, but the tool recognizes it as text.

Common Mistake

Expecting rich formatting from plain text. TXT files contain only text—no bold, colors, or fonts. For formatted documents, start with Word or Markdown.

Best For

Creating shareable documents from notes, README files, logs, and any plain text content. Quick conversion when you need a PDF but don't have word processing software.

Not Recommended

Don't use for content requiring formatting like resumes or reports. Start with a word processor for formatted documents, not plain text.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plain text has minimal formatting. Line breaks and spacing are preserved. The converter adds document formatting (margins, fonts, pagination) for professional appearance.

A clean, readable font is applied. For code or technical files, monospace fonts may be used to preserve alignment.

UTF-8 encoding handles international characters, symbols, and special text correctly. Your text displays as intended in the PDF.

PDF is designed for viewing, not editing. To make changes, edit the original text file and reconvert. Or use PDF editing software for minor changes.

Long text files become multi-page PDFs with automatic page breaks. Each page has proper headers and footers if applicable.

Similar result. This method requires no printer driver and works on any device. The output is equivalent to 'Print to PDF' from a text editor.

Standard text files convert without issues. Very large files (hundreds of MB) may take longer to process or require splitting.

Yes. PDF to TXT extracts the text content. You lose the formatting, returning to plain text—the reverse of this conversion.
