✨ Use Cases

💡 Tips for Best Results

  • Font Size: 12pt is standard for most documents
  • Margins: 20mm margins work well for most purposes
  • Courier Font: Best for code or monospaced content
  • Preview: Generate PDF and check if adjustments are needed

⚠️ Limitations

  • This tool handles plain text only (no rich formatting like bold or italics)
  • For advanced PDF features, use dedicated PDF software
  • Very large texts may take a moment to process
  • Embedded images and tables are not supported
  • The built-in PDF fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier) cover Western European characters only – emoji and scripts such as Chinese, Arabic or Cyrillic will not display correctly

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a custom font?

Yes. Upload a .ttf font file and it is embedded in the PDF. The font stays in your browser.

Why do Urdu, Arabic or Chinese characters look wrong?

The built-in PDF fonts only cover Western European characters. Use Print / Save as PDF, which uses your device’s fonts and handles every language, including right-to-left scripts such as Urdu in Nastaliq where your device has a suitable font.

How do I make an A4 PDF from text?

Choose A4 under Paper Size. You can also fit everything on one page, which shrinks the font automatically.
