Text to PDF
Paste, type, or drop a text file, then turn it into a tidy PDF. Choose the font, size, margins, and alignment, preview it live, and download, all inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no watermark.
100% private. Your files are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded.
Some characters (such as color emoji or scripts we do not bundle a font for) could not be embedded and were left out of the PDF.

How to convert text to a PDF
- Paste or type your text into the box, or drop a .txt, .md, .log, or .csv file onto it.
- Pick the font, font size, page size, margins, and alignment, and turn on bold or italic. You can also upload your own font. The live preview updates as you go.
- Click Create PDF and your document downloads on its own.
Everything runs on your device, so the export is fast and your text stays private, even with no internet once the page has loaded.
Write in almost any language
Most free text-to-PDF tools quietly drop characters they cannot draw, so non-English text comes out with blank gaps. This tool draws every character with a real embedded font. Latin and European accents use the default font, and when your text contains Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, or Urdu, a matching open-license font is loaded just for that document. Arabic and Urdu are shaped and joined and laid out right-to-left, and a line that mixes Arabic with English or numbers keeps each part running the correct way. The characters are embedded in the file, so the PDF looks the same on every device, even ones without those fonts installed.
Free vs. upload-based converters
The difference is where the work happens. Server-based converters send your text to their computers, which means your words leave your device, you wait in a queue, and free tiers often add a watermark or a page cap. This tool does the whole job in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, there is no queue, and there is no watermark or limit.
- Your text never leaves your device, so it is safe for private or confidential content.
- No upload and no queue, so the work starts the moment you click Create PDF, and it works offline.
- No watermark, no sign-up, and no character or page limit.
- Fonts are embedded and free for commercial use.
Is the text real, selectable text?
Yes. The words are written into the PDF as a genuine text layer rather than as a flat image, so the finished file can be searched with Ctrl+F, selected, copied, and read by screen readers. If you ever need the words back out of a PDF, PDF to text reads that same layer, and OCR PDF adds a text layer to scanned pages that do not have one.
Fonts, licensing, and commercial use
Every font bundled with this tool is under a permissive open license, either the SIL Open Font License or the Bitstream Vera license, and the full license texts ship with the site. That means any PDF you create here is safe to use at work, in products, and in client deliverables, with no attribution required in the document itself. Because the font is embedded in the file, your document keeps its exact look wherever it is opened.
You can also upload your own TTF or OTF font from the font dropdown. It is read only on your device, never uploaded, and saved privately in your browser so it stays available on your next visit and in the other editor tools. If you use your own font, make sure you are licensed to embed it; the commercial-safe guarantee covers the bundled fonts.
What formatting is kept, and what is not
This tool produces a clean, readable document from your text. The full breakdown:
- Paragraphs and line breaks, with long lines wrapped to the page width.
- Document-level font, point size, margins, alignment, and bold or italic.
- Your own uploaded TTF or OTF font, kept private and saved for next time.
- Automatic page breaks when the text runs past one page.
- Selectable, searchable text and embedded fonts.
- Rich per-word styling like mixed colors, headings, or inline links.
- Color emoji and a few uncommon scripts, which are left out with a notice on screen.
Turn a text file into a PDF
You do not have to paste. Drop a .txt, .md, .log, or .csv file onto the box, or browse for one, and its contents load straight into the editor. From there you can adjust the wording, pick the font and layout, watch the live preview, and export. It is a quick way to hand off a log file, a plain-text draft, or exported notes as a tidy PDF.
Is it private and safe?
Yes. Many free converters upload your text to their own servers to build the file. This tool does not. The PDF is created right inside your browser, so your words are never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone else. That makes it a safe choice for notes, drafts, letters, and anything else you would not want sitting on a stranger's server.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. This tool works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, tablets, and computers, with nothing to install. Type or paste your text, pick the layout, tap Create PDF, and the file saves straight to your device.

FAQs about Text to PDF
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. The PDF is built inside your browser on your own device. Your text never leaves your computer, which makes this safe for private notes, drafts, and confidential documents. Close the tab and nothing is left behind.
Can I choose the font, size, and margins?
Yes. Pick from bundled open-license fonts or upload your own, set the point size, choose A4 or Letter, set the margins, align left, center, or right, and turn on bold and italic. A live preview shows the result before you download.
Can I upload my own font?
Yes. Open the font dropdown and choose Upload font to load your own TTF or OTF file. It is used only on your device and never uploaded to a server, and it is saved privately in your browser so it stays in the list the next time you visit or use another editor tool. You can remove an uploaded font from the same dropdown. Only use fonts you are licensed to use.
Can I write in other languages, like Arabic or Chinese?
Yes. Latin and European accented letters work out of the box. When your text contains Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Arabic, a matching open-license font is loaded only for that document, so the tool stays fast for everyone else. Arabic and Urdu are shaped and joined right-to-left, and mixed lines that hold both Arabic and English keep each part in the correct direction.
Is the text in the PDF real, selectable text?
Yes. The words are drawn as a genuine text layer, not as a picture, so the PDF can be searched, selected, and copied in any reader. If you later need the words back out, our PDF to text tool reads that layer.
Does it keep my line breaks?
Yes. Your paragraphs and line breaks are kept, long lines wrap to the page width, very long links break so they stay on the page, and new pages are added automatically when the text runs long.
Can I turn a .txt file into a PDF?
Yes. Drag a .txt, .md, .log, or .csv file onto the box, or browse for one. Its contents load into the editor so you can adjust the text and formatting, then download as a PDF.
Are the fonts free for commercial use?
Yes. Every bundled font is under a permissive open license (SIL Open Font License or Bitstream Vera), so PDFs you create are safe to use commercially. The full license texts ship with the site.
Is there a limit on how much text I can convert?
There is no fixed limit: no character cap, no page cap, and no paywall. Because everything runs in your browser, a very long document uses more memory, so that is the main thing that can slow an older phone down.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once the page has loaded. The PDF is built on your device, not on a server, so you can switch off your internet and it still works. That is the same reason your text stays private.
What is not supported?
Color emoji and a few uncommon scripts cannot be embedded and are left out, with a notice on screen. This tool also handles document-level formatting (font, size, margins, alignment, bold, italic) rather than rich per-word styling, so the result is a clean, readable document rather than a designed layout.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, and no size limit. It works the same on phones, tablets, and computers in any modern browser.
