Why Convert TXT to PDF?
Plain text files lack formatting, page structure, and professional presentation.
Converting to PDF adds proper margins, line spacing, readable typography, and a fixed page layout, making plain text archives suitable for professional distribution, printing, and archival storage alongside other business documents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose the font and page size for the PDF?
Yes. Open the document editor (sliders icon) before converting to select font family (Serif/Sans/Mono), font size, and page size (A4, Letter, Legal).
Will my text encoding be handled correctly?
UTF-8 is fully supported, and older ASCII or Latin-1 files are handled as well. Non-Latin scripts work too, provided the Unicode font covers them.
Does the PDF preserve code formatting in TXT files?
If your TXT file contains code, selecting Mono font in the document editor and setting theme to 'Print' produces a cleanly formatted code listing in the PDF.
Can I convert a large text file (100,000+ lines) to PDF?
The browser handles typical text files up to 10 MB. For very large text archives, TeraConvert Desktop converts files of any size.
Is my file private?
Yes. The conversion runs in your browser tab and nothing is uploaded, so your files never leave your device. The only limit is size: 10 MB for this format. Bigger files route to the desktop app.
Converting large text archives?
TeraConvert Desktop converts text files of any size, batch included.
