How to convert TXT to PDF on Windows

  1. 1

    Select your TXT files

    In File Explorer or on the desktop, select one TXT file or as many as you like.

  2. 2

    Hold Ctrl and drag

    Hold Ctrl (or the key you set in Filee) and drag the files. A donut of formats opens at the cursor. Prefer menus? Right-click and choose Convert with Filee.

  3. 3

    Drop on PDF

    Release the files over PDF. A progress ring counts up, and each PDF file is saved next to its original.

What Filee does for TXT → PDF

Plain text becomes a clean A4 PDF with one paragraph per line. Filee recognises UTF-8 and UTF-16 as well as legacy Korean (CP949) text files, so old logs and notes don't turn into garbled characters.

  • Built in: works right after installing Filee, with nothing else to download.
  • The merge preset combines all dropped files into one PDF.
  • Text that needs shaping (Arabic, Hebrew, Indic scripts, Thai and others) is the exception: DOCX, TXT, Markdown, HTML, XLSX, PPTX and HWPX files with it go to PDF and images through the optional LibreOffice engine. Without LibreOffice, that file fails with a message naming the script instead of becoming a broken PDF.
  • Batch: one file or hundreds, converted in parallel; a failure never stops the rest.
  • Private: files are converted on your PC and never uploaded, even without internet.
  • Saved next to the original, or in a folder and with a file name pattern you choose.

TXT can also become

  • HWP
  • DOCX
  • HWPX
  • EPUB

About TXT and PDF

TXT

Plain text

TXT is plain text without any formatting, the simplest and most portable document format. The only thing that can differ is the character encoding (UTF-8, UTF-16 or a legacy code page).

Extensions: .txt .log .py .pac .bat .command

All text and markup formats

PDF

PDF document

PDF is the standard for sharing documents that must look the same everywhere. Fonts, layout and images are fixed, and it opens on any device. That also makes PDFs hard to edit.

Extensions: .pdf

All PDF formats
