By proceeding, you confirm you own the rights to the files you upload and agree to our Terms of Use.
Simply upload your TEXT files and click the convert button. You can also batch convert TEXT to HTML format.
We use both open source and custom software to make sure our conversions are of the highest quality. In most cases, you can fine-tune conversion parameters using “Advanced Settings” (optional, look for the icon).
Our TEXT to HTML Converter is free and works on any web browser. We guarantee file security and privacy. Files are protected with 256-bit SSL encryption and automatically deleted after 8 hours.
A TEXT file is an ordinary plain-text document, the same thing as a .txt file — unformatted characters with no styling, images, or layout attached. Everything the file contains is readable as-is, which is why plain text is used for notes, logs, configuration files, source code, and data exports. The only piece of hidden information is the character encoding, typically UTF-8, which tells software how to turn the stored bytes back into letters.
Any text editor will do. Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, and gedit on Linux all open the file instantly, and so does every web browser.
If the document is very large or contains code, Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code handle it far more comfortably and let you switch encodings when characters display incorrectly. Word processors such as Microsoft Word and LibreOffice Writer can import the text if you want to add formatting. You can also convert the file with our TXT to PDF tool.

HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the language every web page is written in. An HTML file is plain text marked up with tags that describe the structure of a document — headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, tables, and forms — which a browser then renders visually. HTML is maintained as a living standard, and it works alongside CSS for appearance and JavaScript for behaviour.
Double-click the file and it opens in your default web browser — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari — rendered as a web page.
To see or edit the underlying code, open it in a text editor such as Visual Studio Code, Notepad++, or Sublime Text, all of which highlight the tags and catch errors. Keep in mind that a saved HTML page often depends on a companion folder of images and stylesheets — move both together or the page will look broken. Our HTML to PDF tool turns a page into a fixed, shareable document.
