Overview

TextToPDF.net is a free browser-based utility for converting text into PDF files and extracting content back out of existing PDFs, including scanned documents. It combines three tasks in one interface: turning pasted text or uploaded TXT files into a formatted PDF, pulling editable text out of digital PDFs, and using OCR to digitize scanned or image-based documents.

A built-in rich text editor handles headings, alignment, and font styling before export, and the site also offers adjacent format converters (Markdown to PDF, CSV to PDF, Web to PDF, and others). No account or sign-up is required, and the site states files are processed through temporary sessions rather than stored.

  • OCR support for digitizing scanned or image-based documents
