TXT to PDF
Convert a .txt file into a PDF document, processed in your browser.
Drag a .txt file here, or choose a file
Plain text files (.txt), up to 5 MB and 300,000 characters.
You can also paste a file directly (Ctrl+V or ⌘V).
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is not uploaded to a server at any point.
Turn notes into a printable document
Choose a plain .txt file or try the built-in sample, then select Convert to PDF. The converter lays out the text in an 11-point font with automatic wrapping and page breaks. Download the PDF and check the first and last paragraphs to confirm that the document is complete. The original text file is not modified.
Formatting and character limits
The input must be at most 5 MB and 300,000 characters. Files over the character limit are rejected rather than cut short. Split a long log or manuscript into smaller .txt files before converting. Line breaks and leading spaces are retained, but this is not a word processor: Markdown syntax stays literal, and tab-separated tables or ASCII art may not align in the proportional output font.
If letters or symbols look wrong
Save the source as UTF-8 in your text editor and try again. Filevolo first reads UTF-8 and falls back to Windows-1252 for older Western text files; it does not detect every legacy encoding. Complex scripts and emoji may not be covered by the bundled PDF font. For a document with columns, images or precise typography, export a PDF from the original editor instead. Free PDFs include a small Filevolo credit.
Why Convert a Text File to PDF?
A plain .txt file - notes, a log export, a quick draft - isn't always convenient to share or print. Converting it to PDF gives you a fixed, consistent layout that looks the same on any device, without needing whatever program created the original file.
