HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, no account, nothing to install.
01
Upload your TXT files
Drag in .txt files from a notes app, a log folder, a transcript or a code project.
02
Convert to PDF
Start the conversion. LibreOffice lays out the text on pages, wraps long lines and exports a PDF.
03
Download the PDF
Download each PDF, or several together as one ZIP.
TXT
TXT is plain text with no formatting, readable by every device, editor and programming tool.
PDF is the universal fixed-layout document format that looks the same on every screen and printer.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
A TXT file holds only characters and line breaks: no fonts, bold, pages or images. That makes it the most portable format there is, used for notes, logs, README files, transcripts and exported data. The only thing that can go wrong is the character encoding, such as UTF-8 versus an older Windows code page.
TARGET
Adobe introduced the Portable Document Format in 1993, and it has been an open ISO standard since 2008. A PDF fixes text, fonts, images and vector graphics onto pages, so a document prints and displays exactly as intended on any device. It is the default for sharing, printing, signing and archiving.

USE CASES
When plain text needs pages, printing or a fixed format.
Print a transcript
Turn an interview or meeting transcript into printable pages.
Submit text to a portal that wants PDF
Upload forms often accept PDF only.
Share logs with support
Attach a server or app log as a PDF that opens on any device.
Archive notes
Keep plain text notes in a fixed, printable format.
Print a README or license
Turn project text files into readable pages.
Send lyrics or a script
Share plain text work in a format that looks the same everywhere.
Prepare evidence or records
Save chat exports or plain text records as PDF.
Read on a tablet
PDF readers on tablets display paged text comfortably.
Attach to an email for non-technical readers
PDF opens on every phone; TXT can show odd characters.
Combine with other PDFs
Merge the result with other PDFs in your workflow.
SUPPORTED FILES
Plain text files of any size are supported.
Text from Notepad, TextEdit, notes apps and editors.
Server logs, chat exports and data dumps.
Text with accented letters and non-Latin scripts.
Lines longer than the page are wrapped.
Upload several text files and download the PDFs as a ZIP.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Plain text has no formatting, so a few things are worth knowing.
01
The file may use an old code page instead of UTF-8. Save it as UTF-8 in your editor and convert again.
02
Text aligned with spaces only lines up perfectly in a monospaced font. Use tabs or a spreadsheet for tables.
03
Lines longer than the page width wrap onto the next line, so nothing is cut off.
04
TXT has no bold, headings or images, so the PDF is plain text on pages.
05
Very long files produce long PDFs. Trim the log to the relevant part first.
06
Check the file is really text. Renamed binary files can't be laid out as text.
Word, Excel and LibreOffice can save TXT as PDF once installed. dragdropdo does the same conversion in the browser, on any device.
