How to convert TXT to HTML
- Add your .TXT file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .HTML in a few seconds.
- Download your new .HTML file.
What to expect
- This conversion is a thin wrap, not a real format change - your text content is unchanged and only HTML tags are added around it.
- Three characters must be escaped before inserting text into HTML:
<→<,>→>,&→&; our converter and pandoc handle this automatically. - If your
.txtfile is not saved in UTF-8, accented characters and symbols may appear garbled in the browser even with<meta charset="UTF-8">in the HTML.
Frequently asked questions
Will line breaks from my TXT file be preserved?
Only if the text is placed inside
<pre> tags or each line break is converted to <br>; without one of these the browser collapses all whitespace into a single block.Does any formatting carry over from TXT to HTML?
No - plain text has no bold, headings, or links, so the HTML output is equally bare unless you add tags manually; for structured HTML, start from a
.docx or Markdown file instead.Is the resulting HTML file valid?
Yes, provided the three special characters are escaped and the file includes a proper HTML5 skeleton with
<meta charset="UTF-8">.Can I convert multiple TXT files at once?
Yes - use
pandoc on the command line with a wildcard or batch script; the free converter above handles one file at a time.Programs that convert TXT: Atom · Calibre · iStonSoft ePub Converter · PolyEdit · Scientific WorkPlace · TextPipe · Tomahawk Gold · DBF Manager
