Convert TXT to HTML

Convert TXT to HTML when text has to open in a browser: a log to show, an instruction to publish, an export for someone who has nothing but a browser tab.

What happens when you convert TXT to HTML

The text lands on the page inside a block where the browser keeps the spaces and never joins lines together. Markup is not guessed from the content: no headings, paragraphs or lists appear, and a line stays a line.

What does survive is everything that falls apart in an ordinary document: blank lines between blocks, leading indents, and columns aligned with spaces.

• Angle brackets and ampersands are shown as characters instead of being read as tags.
• The font is monospaced, so ASCII drawings and columns line up.
• The file opens with a double click and drags nothing else along.

When the text has to become a document with headings and styles, the TXT to DOCX converter builds it. For sending and printing there is the TXT to PDF converter.

How to convert

1. Upload your TXT file to this page.
2. Check that the target format is HTML.
3. Start the conversion and wait for the finished file.
4. Open the result in a browser.

Frequently asked questions

Will headings and paragraphs appear?

No. The source had no markup, and the conversion does not invent any: the text is shown as it is, line after line.

Will a table drawn with spaces fall apart?

It will not. The spaces are kept and the font has a fixed width, so the columns stay aligned. In a Word document that same table would drift.
