Text to TXT File

Paste text and download it as a plain .txt file. No formatting, no metadata, nothing added — just the characters you pasted, saved as a file you can keep or send.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Paste your text

    Anything you have on the clipboard or want to type out.

  2. 2

    Name it

    The name field sets the downloaded file's name. It defaults to document.txt.

  3. 3

    Download

    Press Create TXT. The file contains exactly what is in the box, encoded as UTF-8.

When this is the right tool

For getting text out of a browser and onto disk without opening an editor. Log output, a token, a snippet someone sent you, a list you need as a file for something else to read.

Plain text is also the right answer when the file has to be read by a program rather than a person. There is no markup to strip and no encoding to guess at.

What it will not do

There is no control for typeface, text size or colour on individual words, and that is deliberate rather than unfinished. Those would be per-word styling, and the honest position is that a button which silently does nothing is worse than one that is not there.

Document-level choices — page size and the typeface for the whole document — are in the settings panel beside the editor, because they apply to the finished file rather than to a selection.

Images cannot be placed from the editor. Everything here is text you typed or pasted, which is also why nothing has to be uploaded.
