Convert TXT to PDF

No — this conversion pins the layout. A TXT adapts its line breaks to whatever width and font size the reader is using; the PDF fixes page geometry at conversion time, so on a phone you get the whole page scaled down rather than text rewrapped to the screen. That is the right trade when the layout must not move, and the wrong one when the file is for reading on a small device. Plain text is the most durable format there is: it will still be readable when every proprietary format of this decade is unopenable. PDF is Adobe’s Portable Document Format from 1993, standardised as ISO 32000 and now the universal fixed-layout document.

It will look plain, because there is nothing to recover. A TXT carries no styling information, so the converter applies a clean default — a readable body font, sensible margins, paragraphs separated where blank lines were. Headings are inferred where the source used a recognisable convention, and everything else arrives as body text. TXT is plain text — characters and line breaks with no formatting layer whatsoever.

Not the way you edit the TXT. The PDF is a delivery format: it fixes the layout so it renders identically everywhere, which is exactly why it resists editing. Keep the TXT as the working copy and regenerate the PDF whenever the content changes — round-tripping back out of PDF always loses something.

Yes for text-bearing TXT (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT) — fonts are embedded into the PDF so the output looks identical on every viewer. Image-only TXT (JPG, PNG) just centers the image on the page; layout is N/A.

Yes — drop multiple TXT files into the upload zone and choose the "merge into one PDF" option. They appear as sequential pages in the PDF in upload order; drag-to-reorder is supported before conversion.

Defaults: A4 portrait (international) or letter portrait (US). The advanced options expose page-size (A3, A4, A5, letter, legal, tabloid, custom) and orientation (portrait / landscape). For image TXT, "auto-fit" picks orientation to match the source aspect ratio.

Yes for TXT formats that have real hyperlink metadata (DOCX, ODT, HTML). Image-based TXT (JPG, PNG, TIFF) have no hyperlinks to preserve. The PDF file uses standard PDF URL actions so links work in every PDF reader.

Yes when the TXT contains real text (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT). Image-based TXT produces an image-only PDF — to make it searchable, use /pdf-ocr/ after conversion to run optical character recognition.

Not in this tool — convert TXT to PDF first, then use /pdf-protect/ to add a password, watermark, or restrict editing. Splitting the operations makes it easy to reconvert without re-typing the password.

Depends on the TXT. A 10-page DOCX with embedded fonts produces a 200-400 KB PDF. A 10-image JPG batch at full resolution produces a 5-20 MB PDF. The advanced options expose a "compress images in PDF" toggle that recompresses embedded images at JPG quality 85.

Yes — isolated workers, automatic deletion within minutes, no human review of content.
