Convert plain text to HTML format
Text to HTML Converter
Paste plain text, convert it into structured HTML, then preview, copy, or download the result for your website or project.
Convert Plain Text into Clean, Ready-to-Use HTML Markup
Paste your plain text and instantly generate safe, formatted HTML with paragraphs and line breaks. Ideal for blog posts, documentation pages, simple landing content, prototypes, and any place where you need quick HTML without manually writing tags.
Paragraph & Line-Break Structure
Double line breaks become <p> paragraphs and single line breaks become <br /> tags, so your plain text is converted into clean, readable, and properly separated blocks of content.
Full HTML Document Template
Generates a complete HTML document with <head>, basic typography styles, and a centered content layout so you can open it directly in a browser or plug it into your project as a starting point.
Safe HTML Escaping
Automatically escapes special characters like <, >, &, and quotes so your content doesn't accidentally break the markup or inject unintended tags.
What is a Text to HTML Converter?
A Text to HTML converter transforms raw plain text into properly structured HTML markup. This is especially useful when you draft content in a notes app, Google Docs, or any basic editor and then need to move it into a website, CMS, or template that expects HTML instead of plain text.
Instead of manually wrapping each paragraph with <p> tags, inserting <br /> tags, and worrying about escaping special characters, you paste your content once and get a complete, ready-to-use HTML output that you can copy, preview, or download as an HTML file.
How This Converter Works
- Your raw text is first normalized and all special characters are safely escaped into HTML entities.
- The tool looks for double line breaks to detect paragraph boundaries and splits your text into separate blocks based on those gaps.
- Inside each paragraph block, any remaining single line breaks are converted into <br /> tags to preserve intentional manual line breaks.
- Each paragraph is then wrapped with <p>...</p> tags, keeping the structure simple, semantic, and easy to style.
- Finally, all paragraphs are injected into a minimal HTML boilerplate – including <html>, <head>, basic CSS, and a clean <body> layout – and shown as the final HTML output you can copy or download.
How To Use the Text to HTML Converter
- Write or paste your content into the Plain Text Input box. Use blank lines to separate paragraphs for best results.
- Click the Convert to HTML button. The tool will generate a full HTML document based on your text and show it in the HTML output area.
- Review the generated HTML, then click Copy HTML to send it to your clipboard or Download HTML to save it as a document.html file.
- Use the live Preview section to see how the HTML will roughly look in a browser before integrating it into your site or CMS.
- Paste the HTML into your page template, editor, or codebase and adjust the styling as needed to match your design system.

Privacy & Usage Disclaimer
All conversion logic runs directly in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your text and the generated HTML are not uploaded to any backend or stored on a remote server by this tool. For safety and compliance, you should still be cautious when pasting highly sensitive or regulated content into any browser-based utility and always review the final HTML before using it in production environments.
FAQ – Text to HTML Converter Tool
1. How are paragraphs and line breaks handled?
A double line break becomes a new <p> paragraph. Single line breaks inside a paragraph are converted to <br /> so your manual spacing is preserved.
2. Does this tool escape HTML tags?
Yes. Special characters like <, >, &, and quotes are converted to HTML entities so your content does not accidentally break or inject tags into the markup.
3. Can I edit the generated HTML?
Absolutely. You can copy the HTML into your preferred code editor, adjust headings, add classes, or integrate it into components and templates as needed.
4. Is the output suitable for production?
The generated HTML is valid and clean for simple content pages. For production use, you'll typically merge it into your existing layout, CSS framework, or design system rather than using the raw template as the final page.
5. Is my content stored anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your original text and generated HTML are not sent to a server or saved remotely by this tool.
Built for quick formatting, learning, and prototyping. Always review and, if needed, sanitize content before using it in production systems.
