Documents and text
Document tools
Convert between Markdown, HTML and plain text, turn notes into a PDF, and pull readable text out of e-books, in your browser.
Upload a fileBefore you start
Text converts cleanly between plain text, Markdown and HTML because all three are text underneath. Page layout is different: fonts, columns and exact spacing belong to the program that made the document, so a converted copy keeps the words and structure rather than the look. For a document that must look identical, export it to PDF from the program that created it.
