Turn a plain text file into a proper PDF

The text to PDF tool takes a simple TXT file and lays it out as a clean document with real pages and margins. Upload the file, convert it, and download a PDF that looks the same for everybody who opens it, whatever device or app they are using.

Text files are handy to write in but awkward to share. Line breaks move, fonts change, and there are no page edges at all. Turning the file into a PDF fixes all of that and gives you something you can print, attach or store as a final copy.

What this converter gives you

Sensible margins and line spacing so the writing is comfortable to read.
Automatic page breaks

Readable typing
A clear font at a comfortable size, on screen and on paper.
Text stays selectable
You can still search and copy from the finished PDF.
Ready to print
Standard page size means it prints correctly without adjusting anything.
Files cleared after use
