Text to PDF Converter
Convert plain text to a paginated PDF. Choose paper size, font size, and filename. Auto-wraps long lines and paginates cleanly.
About the Text to PDF Converter
The Text to PDF Converter wraps any plain-text input - code listings, transcripts, log files, manuscripts - into a clean paginated PDF. The tool handles line wrapping, page breaks, and font sizing automatically; you control paper size and base font size, and the output is ready to print or share.
Lines wrap to fit within the chosen paper size, and the document paginates automatically based on line height. The output uses a standard sans-serif font for readability. For Markdown-formatted text use the Markdown to PDF tool instead - this one treats every character as literal text.
Common use cases
- Archive chat transcripts or email exports as PDFs
- Convert log files into printable evidence for audit reports
- Save terminal output, ASCII art, or scripts in portable format
- Bundle long-form writing or manuscripts for sharing
Tips for best results
For source code, choose a smaller font size (10-11 pt) so the lines do not wrap mid-statement. For prose, 12-14 pt at A4 reads comfortably. The tool preserves line breaks exactly as in your input - if you want re-flowed paragraphs, join your text into long lines first and the wrapping algorithm will format them.
Privacy & data handling
The Text to PDF Converter runs entirely in your browser. Files you upload are never sent to a server - the conversion happens locally on your device, and the files are released as soon as you close the tab. No signup, no daily limit, no watermarks.
What file types can I convert?
Anything that is plain text - .txt, .log, .csv (treated as raw text), .md (treated as raw text), source code files like .py / .js / .java. For Markdown rendering, use the Markdown to PDF converter instead. For structured CSV with table layout, use the CSV to PDF converter.
How long can the input be?
There is no hard limit, but browser performance starts to slow around 100,000+ lines. For very large logs, split into chunks and merge the resulting PDFs.
Can I change the font?
The font is fixed at Helvetica (the default in jsPDF) to keep the output universally compatible. Font size is adjustable. For custom fonts and styling, use the HTML to PDF tool - paste your text wrapped in HTML with inline styles.
Are line breaks and indentation preserved?
Yes - every line break in your input becomes a line break in the PDF. Tabs are converted to spaces (the standard 4-space replacement). Leading spaces are preserved so indented code renders correctly.
Does the PDF look good when printed?
Yes. The default paper size matches your selection (A4, Letter, or Legal), and the font is embedded so it renders identically on any printer. The PDF uses standard A4 margins (40 pt all around).
