How do I convert a TXT file to PDF?
Choose your .txt file and convert it. The text is set in a monospace face with its spacing preserved, so indented code, aligned columns and ASCII tables stay lined up. Long lines wrap instead of running off the page, and the result is a real text layer you can select, search and copy.
About the Text to PDF Converter
Convert a .txt file into a PDF in a monospace face with its whitespace preserved, so indented code, aligned columns and ASCII tables line up exactly as they do in the source file. Long lines wrap rather than running off the page. The output is a real text layer you can select, search and copy. The built-in PDF fonts cover English, Western European accents and common punctuation, but not Cyrillic, Greek, CJK or emoji.
- Attach a log file or console output to a ticket as a PDF without its column alignment collapsing.
- Turn a plain-text manuscript, transcript or set of notes into a paginated document ready to print.
- Keep indentation exactly as written when sharing a code snippet or configuration file with someone who needs to read it on paper.

Does the file keep its indentation and column alignment?
Yes, and that is the point of the monospace face. A text file's whitespace is its layout: a log with aligned timestamp columns, a configuration file with nested indentation, a table drawn in pipes and dashes. Set in a proportional font, every one of those collapses into ragged nonsense because a space and a letter no longer occupy the same width. Courier keeps each character on the same grid the file was written against, so the document reads on paper the way it reads in an editor.
What happens to lines too long for the page?
They wrap to the next line and continue, rather than being cut at the margin. This matters for the files people convert most — logs and stack traces routinely carry single lines hundreds of characters long, and a converter that silently truncated them would drop exactly the detail you kept the log for. Wrapping happens at the width your chosen page size and margin leave, so a wider page or narrower margin produces fewer wrapped lines.
How is this different from pasting text into a word processor?
Nothing reformats it. A word processor applies autocorrect, converts straight quotes to curly ones, turns hyphens into dashes, guesses at lists, and reflows in a proportional font — all of which corrupt a file whose exact characters were the reason you saved it. This converter draws the characters that are in the file, in order, at fixed width. For a log attached to a bug report or a configuration file going to a colleague, that fidelity is the whole requirement.
Are my files uploaded when converting a text file to PDF?
No. The file is read locally and the PDF is built in memory. Text files are the format people keep the unglamorous things in — exported logs, scratch notes, credentials pasted somewhere temporarily and forgotten — and converting one should not be the thing that puts its contents on someone else's disk.
