How to use Text to PDF
- Upload a .txt, .md, .html, .json, .js or .css file, or type your text into the box.

- Adjust the font size, alignment and colors if you want to, and check the preview.
- Click Download PDF to save your file.
Why use Text to PDF
- Four design templates for notes, documents and reports.
- Works with plain text, code and HTML files.
- PDFs open on any phone, tablet or computer.
- No account, no watermark.
Which layout should you choose?
Auto Design applies one of four templates, with your choice of font size, color, alignment and line spacing. Original File keeps text in a plain monospace style, which suits code, and for an HTML file it keeps your own design. Presentation splits your text into sections wherever there is a blank line and shows each one as a numbered block under a title.
What to know about the PDF
The tool draws your page and places it into the PDF as pictures. The result looks the same everywhere, but the text in the PDF cannot be selected, copied or searched. If you need selectable text, print the page to PDF from your browser or word processor instead.
Markdown files are accepted, but they are shown as plain text rather than converted into headings and lists. Very long documents can take a little longer to create.
Tips for best results
- Use the preview to check how the page looks before you download.
- For HTML files, choose Original File to keep your own design.
- Use Presentation when you want your paragraphs to appear as separate numbered sections.
- Keep your original text file as the editable copy.
