About this format

The oldest and simplest format there is. It holds nothing but characters, so it opens anywhere. The only question it ever raises is which character encoding it uses.

What it can hold

  • Text

What it cannot

  • Formatting, images, tables, fonts — nothing at all

When you convert it

TXT → DOCXNothing to lose. You gain the ability to add formatting.
TXT → PDFRendered in a default font.

When it will not open

  • Garbled characters — an old file saved in a legacy encoding read as UTF-8, or the reverse
  • No line breaks in Notepad — the file uses Unix line endings

In one line If Korean or Japanese text looks garbled, it is the encoding. Save as UTF-8 and it stops happening.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a TXT file?

Drop the file into the window, pick the target format, and download the result. No account required.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in your browser. A Windows installer is available separately if you prefer one.

What if the format I want isn't listed?

Every engine's capabilities are merged into a single graph, so unlisted pairs are chained automatically through intermediate formats along the least-lossy route.
