About This Tool
Why use Text File Gen?
Type or paste text, give the file a name, and download it as a plain text file. No editor to install, no Notepad, no worrying about an application adding formatting you did not ask for — what you type is exactly what the file contains.
It is a small thing that solves a recurring annoyance: you are on a machine that is not yours, or a tablet, or a locked-down work laptop, and you need a .txt, a .env, a .csv or a robots.txt right now. Because the file is built by the browser, the text never goes anywhere, and you get a clean file with no byte-order mark, no smart quotes and no rich-text markup smuggled in.
Key Benefits
Any extension you like
Name it .txt, .csv, .env, .md or anything else; the content is written as plain text either way.
No hidden formatting
Word processors add smart quotes and markup. This writes exactly the characters you typed, which matters for config and data files.
Nothing leaves your browser
The file is assembled locally, so notes, keys and snippets are never sent to a server.

Text File Gen FAQs
Can I use an extension other than .txt?
Yes. Type whatever file name you need — .csv, .md, .env, .json, .sql. The content is written as plain text regardless of the extension.
Is there a size limit?
No fixed limit. The text is held in the page while you work, so extremely large content is limited only by your browser's memory.
Does the file get any hidden characters?
No. It contains exactly the characters you typed, with no byte-order mark and no rich-text markup — which is why it works for config files where a word processor's output would not.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. The file is created by your browser and downloaded directly, so nothing is transmitted.
