FAQ
How is the PDF produced?
Your text is typeset into a PDF right in your browser and downloaded locally (named after the title when one is set — which is also written to the PDF's Title metadata, so reader tabs show your title).
Who decides the pagination?
With "Generate & download PDF" the built-in typesetter paginates on your selected paper and margins; with "Generate printable page" your browser's print settings decide.
What about CJK typesetting quality?
The direct PDF keeps blank lines as real spacing and applies line-start rules — punctuation like 。 ， never begins a line (it follows the previous line's last character).
What about emoji or Arabic text?
Characters without a glyph in the built-in fonts are counted and disclosed after generation (they appear as empty boxes); RTL characters are laid out per-character left-to-right (no bidi reordering or Arabic shaping) — also disclosed. Use the printable page for browser-grade text shaping.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Your input never leaves the device.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Yes — conversions use a free daily allowance and need no sign-in, and the PDF has no watermark. Larger batch quota is the paid Pro tier.
Can I convert a .txt file?
There is no file upload — the tool takes pasted text, which keeps everything on your device. Open your .txt in any text editor, select all, and paste it here. The same copy-paste path works for text from anywhere (notes, editors, chat, terminal output).
Is there a word limit?
No fixed word count — the direct "Generate & download PDF" paginates automatically on the paper and margins you choose. Practical limits are your device's memory for very long documents; the printable-page path follows your browser's print settings.
Does it work on iPhone or Android?
Yes. The direct "Generate & download PDF" produces the file in the browser and needs no print dialog, so it works on mobile; the printable-page path needs your browser's "Save as PDF", which desktop browsers and Android Chrome support.
Examples
- Paste plain text (optional title) → generate → print to PDF
Supported formats
Limitations
- Plain text only (no rich formatting).
- Direct PDF paginates on the selected paper (A4/Letter), font size and margins; no headers/footers; the printable page follows your browser's print settings.
- The download file name reuses the title when set (sanitized; falls back to document.pdf).
- Characters without a glyph in the selected font (e.g. emoji) render as empty boxes in the direct PDF — counted and disclosed after generation; no font fallback substitution beyond Noto Sans SC.
- RTL text is laid out per-character left-to-right (no bidi reordering or Arabic shaping) — counted and disclosed; use the printable page for browser-grade shaping.
- Runs locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
