Frequently asked questions
Does Text to PDF add formatting?
The source TXT has no rich formatting. The converter lays it out with the font and size you choose; it does not infer headings or tables.
Which font is best for code or logs?
Choose monospace to keep characters at equal widths. Sans and serif are more suited to continuous prose.
Can I upload a Word file instead?
This tool accepts plain TXT. Use Word to PDF for DOCX documents.
Is there a free size limit?
Guests can upload files up to 25 MB each. A free account raises the limit to 50 MB per file, and Premium allows 500 MB per file with larger batches.
Are notes and logs kept private?
Files are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted after a short time.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Upload a TXT file through a mobile browser and download the PDF when it is ready.
