How it works
The Text to PDF converter wraps plain text into a PDF document with your chosen page size, font, font size, line height, and margins. Paste any text and download an instantly shareable, print-ready PDF — no Word, no Google Docs, no formatting.
Sometimes you need a PDF from a plain text source: a list, a note, a configuration block, log output, a simple letter, or any text that you want to preserve layout-free and share as PDF. This tool does exactly that — no unnecessary complexity.
How to use it: paste or type text in the input area. Choose page size (A4, Letter), font family (monospace like Courier for code, proportional like Arial for prose), font size, line height, and page margins. Click Generate and Download.
Monospace mode: for source code, configuration files, and structured text that relies on alignment, enable Monospace font mode. Fixed-width characters preserve column alignment that would be lost with a proportional font.
Long text: text is automatically wrapped within the page width and paginated. Very long texts produce multi-page PDFs. The line count per page is shown in real time so you can estimate the output page count.
Whitespace preservation: enable the Preserve Whitespace option to maintain indentation, multiple spaces, and exact line breaks — important for code, poetry, and tabular plain text.
Privacy: text-to-PDF conversion runs in the browser using pdf-lib.
Frequently Asked Questions
- For readable prose (letters, notes), a proportional font like Arial or Times New Roman at 11–12pt with 1.5 line spacing produces a clean result. For source code, log output, or alignment-dependent text, use a monospace font (Courier New or Roboto Mono) to preserve column spacing.
- The page count estimate is shown in real time as you type. At 12pt Arial with standard margins on A4, approximately 40–50 lines fit per page (about 600–700 words). Reduce font size to 10pt to fit more per page, or increase to 14pt for a more spacious layout.
- Yes. Enter margin values in mm for top, bottom, left, and right independently. Standard margins for documents are 25mm (1 inch) on all sides. For dense technical text, 15mm margins allow more content per page.
- Yes. Text is wrapped to fit within the page width at the current font size and margin settings. Long lines that exceed the page width wrap to the next line automatically. Enable 'Preserve line breaks' to wrap only at explicit newlines in your source text.
