Text to PDF
100% PrivatePDF & Document ToolsTurn typed or pasted plain text into a clean, properly paginated PDF document.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to Ovatly or anywhere else.
- 1Type or paste your text; blank lines become paragraph gaps.
- 2Optionally add a document title, which is also used as the download file name.
- 3Pick a font size and A4 or US Letter pages.
- 4Press Create PDF and download the finished document.
Paste the three sentences: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs. How vexingly quick daft zebras jump! At 12 pt on A4 the text wraps at the margins into two lines and produces a tidy one-page PDF.
- The built-in Helvetica font covers Latin scripts and common punctuation. Emoji and non-Latin scripts are not supported and produce a clear error rather than a damaged file.
- Formatting is intentionally plain: no bold, headings or links, because the input is plain text. Line breaks you type are respected.
- Margins are fixed at 56 points (about 2 cm) on every side for a consistent, printable layout.
Not in this tool. It uses the standard Helvetica built into every PDF reader, which keeps the file small and identical everywhere.
