Plain Text (TXT) is the simplest document format there is: nothing but characters, with no fonts, colours, images, or layout information of any kind. What a TXT file does carry is a character encoding — today almost always UTF-8 — which determines how the bytes map to letters. Because there is no hidden structure, TXT is the most portable and durable format available, readable on every computer ever made.

 

How to open a TXT file?

Every operating system opens TXT out of the box: Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, and gedit or nano on Linux. Web browsers display them too.

 

For large files or code, a proper editor such as Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, or Sublime Text is much faster and lets you change the encoding if the text appears garbled. Odd symbols usually mean the file was saved in a different encoding than the one your editor assumed. To hand a plain-text document to someone in a formatted form, use our TXT to PDF tool.
