TXT to PDF Converter

Use OnlineTextLab's TXT to PDF Converter to turn plain text, notes, drafts, logs, scripts, or TXT files into a clean PDF document. Paste your text or upload a TXT file, choose page size, font, margins, line spacing, and page number options, then download the finished PDF. The conversion runs in your browser, so your text is not uploaded to OnlineTextLab.

FAQ

Is my TXT file uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs in your browser. Your pasted text or uploaded TXT file is not sent to OnlineTextLab.

Can I paste text instead of uploading a file?

Yes. You can paste text directly into the input box and create a PDF without uploading a file.

Can I change the PDF page size?

Yes. You can choose A4, Letter, or Legal page sizes.

Can I add page numbers?

Yes. You can enable page numbers and choose whether they appear at the bottom center or bottom right.

Can I convert a Notepad file to PDF?

Yes. A Notepad .txt file can be uploaded and converted into a PDF directly in your browser.

Does this tool preserve line breaks?

Yes. Line breaks in your source text are preserved by default, which is useful for notes, logs, scripts, and plain text exports.

Can I convert large TXT files?

Large text files may work, but browser performance depends on your device. The tool handles multi-page PDFs automatically.

Does this support images or rich formatting?

No. TXT files are plain text, so the PDF will contain text only. For Markdown or HTML formatting, use the Markdown to PDF or HTML to PDF tools.
