Supported Formats

Last Updated: March 24, 2026

This page lists the file types and document formats currently supported by TextToPDF. The site focuses on a smaller set of tools so the experience stays clear and the results stay consistent.

Text to PDF Tool

The Text to PDF tool is built for plain writing and lightweight document creation.

  • Accepted input: Pasted plain text and `.txt` files.
  • Output format: Standard `.pdf` files.
  • Best fit: Notes, drafts, simple letters, written content, and plain text documents.
  • Important note: This tool is not built as a full Word style layout editor for advanced page design.

PDF to Text Tool

The PDF to Text tool is for files that already contain selectable text.

  • Accepted input: Searchable `.pdf` files with selectable text.
  • Output format: Extracted text output that can be copied or downloaded as a text file.
  • Current size limit: Up to 10MB per file.
  • Important note: This tool may not work well on scanned PDF files that are only images.

Scanned PDF to Text (OCR)

The scanned PDF tool is for image based documents where the text cannot be selected directly.

  • Accepted input: Scanned `.pdf` files and image based PDF pages.
  • Output format: OCR based text output.
  • Current size limit: Up to 15MB per file.
  • Important note: Result quality depends on scan quality, orientation, contrast, and page clarity.

Formats Not Currently Supported

TextToPDF does not currently present itself as a universal office file converter. Formats such as `.docx`, `.rtf`, `.odt`, `.pages`, spreadsheets, presentation files, and image uploads outside the OCR flow may not be supported across all tools.

Why Support Is Limited to These Formats

A narrower list of supported formats keeps the tools easier to use and reduces confusing output. That also makes it easier to explain what each tool is meant to do before a user uploads a document.

Future Format Support

We may expand support over time as the product grows. Any new format support will be listed on this page after it becomes available in the live service.
