Settings that matter for printing
Page size: Letter, Legal or A4, in portrait or landscape. Landscape is handy for wide logs and tables.
Font and size: monospace fonts keep the layout of the file, while sans serif and serif fonts read more like a document.
Line spacing and margins: Single to Double spacing, and narrow, moderate or normal (1 inch) margins.
The editor remembers your settings for the next text file. The page count updates as you change them, so you can fit a document on fewer pages before you create it.
Emoji and characters from scripts the chosen font does not cover are shown as “?”. Noto Sans and Noto Serif cover the most characters.
Frequently asked questions
Will columns and indentation in my text file stay aligned?
Yes, with a monospace font such as Cousine (Courier New) or Roboto Mono, which is the default. Every character has the same width, so tables made with spaces, code and tab-indented lists line up exactly. Tabs are expanded to 4-character stops.
What happens to long lines?
Lines longer than the page are wrapped at a space, like in a word processor. A very long word, such as a web address, is broken where it reaches the margin, so nothing is cut off.
Which text encodings are supported?
UTF-8 (with or without a BOM), UTF-16 and Windows-1252, the usual encoding of older Windows text files. Accented letters, curly quotes and symbols come out correctly. A form feed character in the file starts a new page.
Can I add page numbers?
Yes. Page numbers (“Page 1 of 3”) are on by default, and you can also print the file name at the top of each page.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and the file never leaves your device.
