Limits and supported files
Pasted text or plain-text files; not Word documents.
Local tests used synthetic 10, 50, 100 and 200 MB plain-text files. Chromium, Firefox and WebKit: none completed; 10, 50, 100, 200 MB did not complete.
Import a text file smaller than 2 MB and use up to 200,000 characters; the generated PDF can contain up to 500 pages. Chromium, Firefox and WebKit: completed 50, 300 text pages; 1000 text pages did not complete.
Text conversion was tested on a 16 GB Mac with Chromium, Firefox and WebKit. “Did not complete” includes input limits, errors and test timeouts; try a smaller selection. These are observed examples, not guaranteed limits on your device. WebKit tests do not replace a check in Safari on your own device.
Up to 100 input files and 512 MB total; up to 200 output files or 512 MB. ZIPs over 128 MB need Chrome/Edge direct disk saving; use individual downloads in other browsers. The Workflow stress test completed 100 synthetic files in all three engines; this does not guarantee the same capacity for every conversion.
Questions
Can I use this to convert a Word document?
This tool accepts plain text, not a Word document with its original formatting. Paste the words you need and choose a new layout. Pictures, complex tables and Word styling are not imported as a document design.
Does it support every writing system?
No. Supported Latin, Greek and Cyrillic characters can be exported with embedded fonts. The tool reports unsupported characters rather than silently replacing them. Check the preview if your text includes symbols or other scripts.
Can I choose the downloaded PDF filename?
Name the resulting PDF so it is easy to identify after downloading.
Can I format my text for A4, Letter or A3 paper?
Choose A4, Letter or A3 to suit the intended printout.
