How to convert text to PDF online
A short path from plain text to a portable document, with the controls that matter and none of the editor clutter.
- 01
Paste or import your text
Start with a note, draft, log, or one UTF-8 TXT file. Your line breaks stay intact.
- 02
Choose your PDF settings
Pick a paper size, orientation, type style, spacing, margins, and page numbers.
- 03
Download your searchable PDF
The browser-grade renderer returns a selectable PDF directly to your device.
A clean PDF from plain text
The output stays close to the source: searchable text, predictable pagination, and a layout designed for reading rather than editing.
Searchable by design
The PDF contains text you can select, copy, and find—not a screenshot of your editor.
Mobile and desktop ready
Use the same responsive form on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, or Linux.
Safe plain-text semantics
HTML, Markdown, and scripts are escaped and rendered literally; they never execute.
Unicode-aware
UTF-8 text is accepted, with the renderer's installed font coverage determining glyph support.
What the converter preserves
Text is normalized only where different operating systems use different line-ending markers. Meaningful whitespace remains part of the document.
- ✓Paragraphs and hard line breaks
- ✓Blank lines and indentation
- ✓Tabs expanded consistently for layout
- ✓Long lines wrapped inside the page
- ✓Literal HTML, Markdown, and scripts
- ✓Selectable, searchable output text
Your text is processed, not retained
The text is sent over HTTPS to Transformy's service for rendering, held only for the live request, and not written to storage by this free tool.
