How to Use the Plain Text to PDF Tool

Four steps, and the whole thing runs locally on your own device.

  1. Paste or load your text

    Paste content directly, or load a .txt file. Plain text only — formatting commands in a TXT are just characters.

  2. Set the typography

    Choose font, size and line spacing. A 11–12pt serif or sans at 1.4 line spacing is comfortable for long documents.

  3. Set the page

    Choose A4 or Letter and your margins. The text flows and breaks across pages automatically.

  4. Generate the PDF

    The document is typeset and paginated on your device. Download the finished PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it convert Word or Markdown formatting?

No. A TXT file carries no formatting, so headings and emphasis are not interpreted. Convert to PDF from your word processor if you need styled output.

How does it decide where to break pages?

By line height against the printable area. Pages break between lines so no paragraph is split mid-line across a page boundary.

Can I control margins?

Yes, and you should. Wider margins improve readability and leave room for binding or annotation.

Is the text selectable in the output?

Yes, it is placed as real vector text, so it is searchable, selectable and sharp at any print resolution.

Is there a length limit?

No fixed limit — the constraint is how much text the browser can typeset at once. Very long documents take longer to lay out.
