What is a TXT file?
TXT – Plain text. TXT is plain text with no formatting, fonts or pictures. Every device opens it and it never goes out of date.
TXT Converter →What is a PDF file?
PDF – PDF document. PDF is the document format that looks the same on every device: it fixes where each letter and picture goes on a page. It is made for reading and printing, not for editing.

Frequently asked questions
Is converting TXT to PDF free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my TXT files uploaded anywhere?
This conversion runs on our server, because it needs tools that do not run in a browser. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion. The server has no internet access while it works on your file.
How large can the TXT file be?
Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
Will the PDF look the same as the TXT?
The pages keep their text, pictures and layout. A TXT file that uses fonts the converter does not have is shown with similar ones, so lines can break in different places.
Can I convert several TXT files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
