FAQ
How do I convert a text file to PDF?
Upload your TXT file to ToolifyPDF, click "Convert", and then click "Download". Your text is placed on A4 pages with automatic line wrapping, and you get a PDF ready to share or print.
Can I convert TXT to PDF for free?
Yes. You can convert text files to PDF online for free, with no account and no watermark. You can convert up to 50 files at once, each up to 20 MB.
Can I combine several text files into one PDF?
Yes. Add your TXT files, drag them into the right order, and check "Merge all into one PDF" before clicking "Convert". Without this option, each text file becomes its own PDF, and they are downloaded together in a ZIP file.
What will my PDF look like?
The text is placed on A4 pages in an 11 pt sans-serif font with margins of about 2 cm. Long lines wrap automatically (very long words and links too), and your line breaks, blank lines and spaces are kept. Code, logs, CSV and JSON files, and text lined up with spaces (like tables) automatically get a monospace font, where every character has the same width (10 pt, 80 characters per line), so the columns stay aligned.
Are accents and other languages kept?
Yes. Accented letters (é, ñ, ç, ü…), symbols like €, and other alphabets such as Cyrillic, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hebrew are kept in the PDF. UTF-8, UTF-16 and older Windows text files are read correctly.
Which files can I convert?
This tool converts plain text files: TXT, Markdown (.md), CSV, log and JSON files. Their text is shown exactly as written. For Word documents (DOC, DOCX) and OpenDocument text files (ODT), use Word to PDF. For Markdown with real headings, lists and links, use Markdown to PDF.
How do I convert a text file to PDF on Windows?
Upload your TXT files to ToolifyPDF in any browser and click "Convert". For a single file, you can also open it in Notepad, choose File > Print, and select "Microsoft Print to PDF" as the printer.
How do I convert a text file to PDF on a Mac?
