Give Your Plain Text Structure

Plain text looks fine in a text file, but drop it into a web page and it collapses into a single block. Line breaks vanish. Paragraphs merge. Links become unclickable strings. HTML expects structure, and plain text does not provide it.

Our converter reads your plain text and wraps it in the appropriate HTML tags. Empty lines become paragraph breaks. URLs turn into clickable links. Lists are detected and wrapped in proper list markup. The result is HTML that looks the way your text was intended to read.

This is especially useful for migrating content from text files, emails, or databases into a web context. Rather than manually adding tags, let the converter handle the tedious formatting while you focus on the content.

URL Auto-Linking

URLs in your text are converted to clickable <a> links automatically.

Line Break Handling

Single line breaks become <br> tags. Double breaks become new paragraphs.

Special Character Encoding

Characters like <, >, and & are escaped to their HTML entity equivalents.
