Text to PDF

How Text to PDF conversion works

This tool creates simple, shareable PDF files from your plain text documents. Everything runs directly in your browser, nothing is uploaded or stored anywhere, making it great for notes, logs, exports and other private content.

When to use this tool

PDF is the easiest way to freeze a text file so it looks the same for everyone. When you need a final, readable version of a note, transcript, log, export or code snippet, converting text to PDF keeps the content together in a portable format.

• Meeting notes & summaries: share a readable copy that won’t be edited by accident.
• Logs & exports: archive system logs or data exports after converting to plain text.
• Transcripts & drafts: keep lightweight PDFs that are easy to read and print.
• Code or config snippets: send technical text in a format that won’t be auto-corrected by some apps.

Step-by-step: from Text to PDF

Converting your text file takes just a few seconds:

• Add your text files. Drag and drop .txt files into the box above, or click to choose them from your device.
• Review the list. Each file appears with its name and status, ready for conversion.
• Convert to PDF. Click Convert to PDF. The tool processes everything directly in your browser.
• Save your PDFs. Save files one by one or use Save all PDFs once everything is ready.

Privacy, limits and how this tool treats your files

FileYoga is built around a simple rule: your files stay with you. This Text to PDF converter follows that rule closely.

Tips for best results

• For the cleanest output, use UTF-8 plain text files.
• Long lines are wrapped to fit the page. If you want specific line breaks, add them to your TXT file first.
• Tabs and repeated spaces can be normalized by PDF rendering; if alignment matters, consider using a monospace-friendly layout in your text.
• This tool is intentionally text-only. For web layouts, use HTML to PDF Converter.
• If you’re converting a huge file, try doing it alone and close other heavy tabs to reduce memory pressure.

Troubleshooting

• The PDF looks empty: Make sure the original file is a real text file (TXT) and not a different format renamed as .txt.
• Weird characters: The file may be in a different encoding. Try saving/exporting the text as UTF-8 and convert again.
• Spacing/alignment changed: Tabs and multiple spaces can be normalized. For stable alignment, format the text with consistent spacing and shorter lines.
• Browser slows down/crashes: Very large text files can hit browser memory limits. Convert one file at a time or split the text into smaller parts.
• Too many pages: Consider trimming logs/exports or splitting the file before converting.
