About the TXT to Markdown Converter
Convert TXT to Markdown online for free, with no account and no watermark. Plain text has no headings, formatting or page layout, so switching to Markdown is the quickest way to get clean GitHub-flavoured Markdown for README files, documentation, notes apps, blogs and GitHub.
Your TXT is first read into clean, structured content (headings, paragraphs, lists and tables are detected) and then written out as a proper Markdown file. Because everything happens on your own device, your text files are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for contracts, resumes, bank statements and office documents.
What to expect: headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, lists, links and tables are carried across; exotic page layouts such as text boxes, columns and headers or footers are simplified into a clean single-column flow.
How to use the TXT to Markdown Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your TXT text files onto the box. You can add several at once.
- No settings are needed; the structure of the document is detected automatically.
- Press "Convert to Markdown". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each Markdown file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in GitHub or VS Code to check it; your original TXT is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- Headings, lists, links, bold, italic and tables are written as clean GitHub-flavoured Markdown.
- For best results, use real headings (Heading 1, Heading 2) in the source instead of bold text; they become proper headings in Markdown.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the Markdown to a website or government portal.

What is the difference between TXT and Markdown?
TXT (Plain Text) is a plain text file best suited to notes, copying text into other apps, data processing and maximum compatibility. Markdown (Markdown) is a lightweight markup text best suited to README files, documentation, notes apps, blogs and GitHub.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: files of a few hundred megabytes work on most computers, and phones handle smaller files comfortably.

What is a TXT file?
A TXT file contains only characters: no fonts, colours or images. Plain text is the most durable and portable format there is, readable by every device, and it is ideal for notes, code, data cleaning and feeding text to other tools.
What is a Markdown file?
Markdown is a plain-text writing format created in 2004 in which # marks a heading and **text** makes it bold. It is the standard for README files, documentation, GitHub, Notion, Obsidian and static websites.
