Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a character or word limit?
No — the tool handles unlimited text with automatic multi-page layout.
Can I add images?
Text to PDF converts plain text only. For image-rich documents, consider using Word to PDF instead.
What font is used?
The default font is a clean, readable serif. Font size is customisable.

How Text-to-PDF Pagination Works

jsPDF processes your text by splitting it into lines that fit within the page's text area (width minus margins), then tracking vertical cursor position as lines are added. A new page is created automatically when the cursor reaches the bottom margin — handling unlimited text length cleanly. Font size, line spacing, and page size all affect how many lines fit per page and therefore how many pages are generated.

Practical use cases: converting notes or meeting summaries to a shareable PDF, generating a readable offline copy of pasted web content, creating a simple formatted document from raw text without needing a word processor, or producing a print-ready script from a plain text editor. The tool's simplicity — paste and convert — makes it the fastest path from raw text to a distributable PDF.
