Frequently asked questions

How do I convert text to HTML?
Paste your text or upload a .txt file, click Convert to HTML, and copy or download the result. Each line becomes a paragraph and special characters are safely escaped.
Does it escape special characters?
Yes. Characters like <, > and & are converted to their HTML entities so your text displays correctly and can't break the page markup.
Will it keep my line breaks?
Yes. Each non-empty line becomes a <p> paragraph and blank lines become spacing, so the structure of your text is preserved.
Is the output a full HTML page?
Yes — it wraps your content in a complete, valid HTML5 document with a head and body, so you can open or publish it directly. You can keep just the body if you prefer.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and your text is never sent to a server.
