About this Text to PDF
Convert your file to PDF with our text to pdf tool. Drop the file, and we extract the text content, layout it cleanly on the selected page size, and produce a downloadable PDF — entirely in your browser.
The tool is optimized for text content. For files with complex layouts, embedded images, or specific formatting, the source application’s built-in "Export to PDF" will give you a more visually identical result. This tool is the fastest option when you just need a sharable PDF copy.
Your privacy is the default. Your selected files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to our server; all processing happens client-side: the text is parsed in your browser and laid out as a PDF with jsPDF. Closing the tab clears the working session from this page; downloaded files remain on your device.
This tool is free to use with no signup required. Large files may be limited by your browser’s memory and device performance. Part of PDF Tools Base, a privacy-first collection of 161 PDF utilities. Bookmark the page for next time, and explore related tools in the footer below.

Frequently asked questions
Is Text to PDF safe to use?
Yes. Everything happens in your browser. Your selected files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to our server. Closing the tab clears the working session from this page; downloaded outputs remain on your device until you delete them.
Do I need to register or sign in?
No. No account, no email, no sign-up. Open the page and start using the tool immediately. Free to use, no signup needed.
Is there a watermark on the output?
No. PDF Tools Base never adds a watermark or branding to your output. Your final file is clean — just what you produced from the original.
Is there a file size limit?
There’s no fixed limit. Since processing uses your device’s memory, phones may struggle with files over 50–100MB; desktops may handle larger files but can still fail on very large or complex documents. Large files may be slow or fail depending on browser memory, source format, page count, and document complexity.
Does this work on mobile devices?
Yes. The tool works on all modern mobile browsers: Chrome on Android, Safari on iOS, Firefox, Edge, Brave. The drag-and-drop also accepts files from your phone’s file manager.
What about images and formatting in the source file?
Readable text is extracted where supported. Images and exact layout are not transferred. For pixel-perfect conversion, use the source app’s native "Save as PDF" if available.
