How it works

  • Give your file a name with the extension you want, such as script.py, index.html or notes.txt.
  • Type or paste your text or code into the editor. It is kept character for character.
  • Click Download file, or press Ctrl and S (Cmd and S on a Mac), and the file saves to your device.

Good to know

  • This is for text based files: code, markup, data and plain text. It cannot turn text into a real image, PDF or zip.
  • Files are saved as UTF-8. Choose Windows line endings if the file is for an older Windows program that needs them.
  • It all happens in your browser, so it keeps working with the internet switched off once the page has loaded.
Is anything uploaded or stored?

No. The file is built in your browser and saved straight to your device. Nothing is sent to a server and nothing is kept. When you close the page, nothing is left behind.

Which file types can I make?

Any text based file: .txt, .html, .css, .js, .json, .md, .php, .py, .xml, .csv, .sql, .yml, .sh and many more. You can type any extension you like into the name box. It is not meant for binary files such as images, PDFs or zip archives, since those are not plain text.

Is my code changed in any way?

No. What you type is what you get, character for character. The only optional changes are the ones you choose: the line ending style and whether to add a blank line at the end.

What is the difference between the line ending options?

Unix and Mac files use LF, while some older Windows programs expect CRLF. If your file looks like one long line when opened in a basic Windows editor, save it again with the Windows option.

Is there a size limit?

There is no fixed limit and normal files save instantly. Very large content, in the range of many megabytes, may be slower to handle in the browser.
