Add the .txt file, or type or paste your text. Choose the font, size, margin and page size, then press Convert to PDF. The file downloads from the result screen. ### Can I change the font and size? Yes. Choose sans-serif, serif or monospace, and a size from 8 to 24 points. Monospace keeps columns lined up. If your text has letters outside the standard fonts, such as Greek or Cyrillic, the PDF uses Noto Sans for it. ### Do long lines and tabs work? Yes. A line wider than the page breaks at a space and carries on below it, keeping its indent. A tab becomes four spaces. Blank lines are kept, and a form feed character starts a new page. ### Which characters and text encodings work? UTF-8, UTF-16 and older Windows text files are read. Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters can be drawn. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew and emoji cannot yet, and we tell you which characters are the problem instead of drawing empty boxes. ### Can I add page numbers? Yes. Tick Add page numbers and each page gets a small Page 1 of 3 line at the bottom, inside the margin. ### Is my file uploaded when I use TXT to PDF? No. Your text is laid out and saved as a PDF in your browser. The file is not sent to our servers. ### Is TXT to PDF free, and are there limits? You can use it free. You get 2 free uses in total, no account needed. Free files can be up to 50 MB. Pro has no limit on uses and allows files up to 500 MB. We check the limits before a use starts, so a finished file is never held back. ### Can I use TXT to PDF on a Windows PC? Yes. Open this page in Chrome or Edge on your PC, add your file and download the result. Nothing to install, and your file stays on your device. ## Related tools - [JPG to PDF](https://pdfinish.com/jpg-to-pdf): Turn photos and scans into a single PDF. - [Word to PDF](https://pdfinish.com/word-to-pdf): Convert a Word document into a PDF. - [RTF to PDF](https://pdfinish.com/rtf-to-pdf): Convert a Rich Text Format file into a PDF. - [HTML to PDF](https://pdfinish.com/html-to-pdf): Turn an HTML file, a zip, or pasted HTML into a PDF. - [Markdown to PDF](https://pdfinish.com/markdown-to-pdf): Turn a Markdown file or pasted Markdown into a clean PDF. - [EPUB to PDF](https://pdfinish.com/epub-to-pdf): Turn an EPUB book into a PDF, with its contents as bookmarks. - [Add Page Numbers to PDF](https://pdfinish.com/add-page-numbers): Stamp page numbers onto every page of a PDF. - [Add Header and Footer](https://pdfinish.com/add-header-and-footer-to-pdf): Print text, page numbers, dates and file names at the top and bottom. - [Merge PDF](https://pdfinish.com/merge-pdf): Combine several PDFs into one file, in the order you choose. - [PDF to Text](https://pdfinish.com/pdf-to-text): Pull the text out of a PDF in reading order, to copy or save as a .txt file. - [EML to PDF](https://pdfinish.com/eml-to-pdf): Turn an email saved as .eml into a PDF with its header, text and attachment list. - [MSG to PDF](https://pdfinish.com/msg-to-pdf): Turn an Outlook email saved as .msg into a PDF with its header, text and attachment list, in your browser. - [CSV to PDF](https://pdfinish.com/csv-to-pdf): Turn a CSV file into a PDF table with a repeating header row. - [ZIP to PDF](https://pdfinish.com/zip-to-pdf): Open a zip in your browser and make one PDF from the pictures, PDFs and text files inside. - [JSON to PDF](https://pdfinish.com/json-to-pdf): Turn a JSON file or pasted JSON into a readable PDF, indented and colored, with optional line numbers, in your browser. - [XML to PDF](https://pdfinish.com/xml-to-pdf): Turn an XML file or pasted XML into a readable PDF, indented and colored, with optional line numbers, in your browser.
