How it works

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.

  1. 01

    Paste or import your text

    Start with a note, draft, log, or one UTF-8 TXT file. Your line breaks stay intact.

  2. 02

    Choose your PDF settings

    Pick a paper size, orientation, type style, spacing, margins, and page numbers.

  3. 03

    Download your searchable PDF

    The browser-grade renderer returns a selectable PDF directly to your device.

Plain-text first

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 stays intact

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.
