TXT to MD Conversion FAQ
How do I convert a TXT file to MD?
+
Upload your TXT file using the picker above and the converter detects the source type and runs the TXT → MD pipeline. The result downloads automatically when conversion completes; no account needed for one-off conversions.
Which Markdown dialect does this conversion use?
+
CommonMark plus the GitHub Flavored Markdown extensions, which is the combination almost every current tool understands. That matters because Markdown was never standardised in one place: tables, footnotes, strikethrough and raw HTML behave differently between dialects, and those are exactly the constructs that silently change meaning when a document moves between renderers.
Why convert between TXT and MD when they are the same kind of file?
+
Because the file has to open on the other end, and version and vendor differences decide whether it will. Two formats in the same family can still be years apart in what software reads them, how large they are on disk, and which features they carry. The conversion normalises the file onto whichever one the recipient actually supports. TXT is plain text — characters and line breaks with no formatting layer whatsoever. MD is Markdown, John Gruber’s 2004 plain-text syntax for writing structured documents that stay readable as source.
Is the TXT to MD converter free?
+
Yes — basic TXT → MD conversion is free with no registration. Premium adds higher per-file size limits, more parallel batch workers, and removes ads.
How big a TXT file can I convert to MD?
+
Free accounts: up to 100 MB per TXT file. Premium: typically 1 GB per file, depending on the TXT source type. Very large files are split into chunks server-side when the MD format allows.
Will conversion change the content of my TXT?
+
Conversion preserves all information that both TXT and MD can represent. Format-specific features that the MD format doesn't support (e.g. vector data in raster output, formulas in plain-text output) are rasterized or stripped — see the format-specific notes on the result page.
Can I convert many TXT files to MD at once?
+
Yes — drop multiple TXT files into the upload zone and they are queued in parallel. Premium has more parallel workers; on a 50-file batch this is the difference between minutes and seconds.
Does the TXT to MD converter work on phones and tablets?
+
Yes — the UI is responsive and the conversion pipeline runs server-side, so mobile devices upload-then-download just like desktops. iOS and Android browser file pickers (camera roll, Files app) work end-to-end.
Which browsers does the TXT to MD converter support?
+
Chrome, Firefox, Safari (15+), Edge, and Opera. The converter uses standard `<input type="file">` upload — no WebAssembly or PWA dependencies — so even older browsers work.
Are my TXT files kept private?
+
Yes — uploaded TXT files are processed in isolated workers and deleted within minutes. We never view, retain, or share content. See /privacy/ for the data-retention window.
What if the MD download doesn't start automatically?
+
Disable any pop-up blocker, then click the download button manually. The result link stays active for 24 hours, so if your network fails mid-download, you can re-trigger from the result page without re-uploading the TXT.
How long does TXT to MD conversion take?
+
Typically seconds for small files, a minute or two for files near the size cap. Server-side pipeline runs on dedicated workers — your laptop CPU isn't the bottleneck.
