Convert text to PDF

About this tool

Turn UTF-8 Latin text into a real paginated, selectable-text PDF.

Supported input

TXT

Output format

PDF

Batch size

Up to 5 files; format and combined limits below still apply.

How it works

1. Add UTF-8 Latin text files in Input. Review each thumbnail and its validation status.
2. Choose A4 or Letter and text size, then create the PDF.
3. Create the selected files. Compare original and result, then download an individual file or ZIP. Changing settings marks older results out of date.

Supported files and limits

Up to five UTF-8 files, 1 MiB each. Binary formats, invalid encoding and unsupported control characters are rejected. Text-to-PDF is limited to 50,000 characters and 100 output pages per input. CSV-to-XLSX accepts 500,000 characters, at most 1,000 rows, 100 columns and 10,000 cells, with 32,767 characters per cell. Every row must contain the same number of fields. Quoted delimiters and multiline fields are supported. Line endings normalize to LF.

One cancellable worker runs at a time, with a 30-second deadline and 20 MiB output cap. Document previews are summaries, not rendered pages or spreadsheets.

A practical example

Create a paginated PDF from supported UTF-8 text such as a short set of instructions. Choose paper size and font size, then check every resulting page.

Troubleshooting this tool

Unsupported characters, including glyphs absent from the available font, are rejected. This does not reproduce a Word layout; wrapping, page breaks and spacing follow this text renderer.

Why are some characters rejected?

The current text-to-PDF font cannot represent every Unicode character. Unsupported text is rejected rather than silently replacing a missing glyph with an incorrect result.

Check the actual export

Plain-text layout only: built-in Helvetica, 36-point margins, automatic wrapping and four-space tabs. Supports Latin text and common Windows-1252 punctuation; other scripts and emoji are rejected. No Markdown/HTML rendering or document-layout conversion. Open the download and check every page or cell, its order and content before relying on it. These tools are not a PDF sanitizer or a secure-redaction system.

Files stay in your browser

No file bytes are uploaded. Ordinary work stays in memory. Choosing a “Continue” action saves that result in this browser for up to 30 minutes, so another compatible working tool can use the actual output. Saved workflows are limited to 50 MiB and 20 files; clear them in Output. Expired entries are removed on later tool visits. Clearing references is not a secure-erasure promise.

If a file fails

Check its actual format and the restrictions above. Renaming a file does not convert it. A failed file does not erase successful batch results. If processing times out, cancel and try fewer or smaller files. A current browser with worker canvas support is required.

Before you use the download

• Open the PDF and read each page for wrapping, pagination and missing or unsupported characters.
• Check the paper and font size before sharing; this text renderer does not reproduce a Word document layout.

Tools that accept this output

These links use this tool's default output format, subject to each next tool's supported variants and limits. If you change the export format, use Continue in Output to see compatible actions for the actual result. Opening a link below starts another tool without transferring a file.

• Merge PDF files — Join simple PDF documents in your chosen file order, without rasterizing their pages.
• Rotate PDF pages — Rotate all or selected pages of a simple PDF by 90, 180 or 270 degrees clockwise.
• Split PDF into parts — Split a simple PDF into equal-sized page groups and download the actual PDF parts in a ZIP.
