About Text to PDF
People who draft content in a notes app, code editor, or markdown file often need a polished, fixed-layout document they can print or share. Text to PDF turns plain text, markdown, or basic HTML into a formatted PDF without any desktop software. Paste your content or upload a text file, choose a preset template such as Modern, Classic, or Minimal, then adjust fonts, sizes, colors, margins, and spacing. You can add headers and footers with page numbers, titles, or dates, and set page size and orientation for A4 or Letter output. Clicking "Convert to PDF" produces the document instantly, and because conversion happens in your browser, drafts of contracts, financial summaries, or medical notes are never uploaded anywhere.

You can paste plain text directly or upload files such as .txt and .md. Markdown and basic HTML formatting are supported when generating the PDF.
