Online Text Editor
Every page on this site draws an editor window. This one is real. Type or paste below, use the tools, and download your text as a file. Free, no signup, and nothing ever leaves your browser.
A Text Editor That Lives in a Browser Tab
This editor is a single page of HTML and JavaScript, which means it works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS and even a locked-down work machine where you can't install software. Your text is processed entirely on your device: nothing is uploaded, there are no accounts, and the download button simply hands your browser a file built from what's on screen. The editor autosaves to your browser's local storage as you type, so an accidentally closed tab doesn't cost you your draft.
It won't replace a real desktop editor for daily work, and it isn't trying to. For that, see our ranked lists of the best editors for Windows, Mac and Linux. But for a quick note on a borrowed computer, cleaning up a pasted list, or turning a chunk of text into a downloadable file, a good online editor is exactly the right tool.
- Line numbers, live word/character/byte count and cursor position
- Find & replace with optional regular expressions and case matching
- Case tools, line sorting, de-duplication and whitespace cleanup
- Emoji picker, undo/redo buttons, go-to-line and clean text-only printing
- Line shortcuts: duplicate, delete and move lines with VS Code-style keys
- Insert UUIDs and timestamps; format or minify JSON; Base64, URL and HTML encode/decode
- Open local files, or drag and drop them onto the editor
- Download under any filename: .txt, .md, .csv, .json and more
- Autosave and restore via your browser's local storage
Online Text Editor FAQs
Is this online text editor free?
Yes, completely. There is no signup, no account, no limits and no watermark. Open the page, type or paste your text, and download the result as a file.
Is my text uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser with JavaScript: typing, find and replace, the text tools and the file download all happen locally on your device. Your text never leaves your computer.
Does the editor save my text if I close the tab?
Yes. The editor autosaves your text to your browser's local storage as you type, and restores it the next time you open the page in the same browser. For anything important, also download a copy as a file, since clearing browser data will remove the autosave.
What file types can I open and download?
Any plain-text format. You can open or drag in files like .txt, .md, .csv, .json, .html, .css, .js, .xml or .log, and download your text under any extension (default .txt) you type in the filename tab.
Can I use it as a Notepad replacement?
For quick edits, yes: it covers what Windows Notepad does and adds line numbers, regex find and replace, word count and line tools. For daily work on your own machine, a desktop editor is still faster and more capable; see our ranked lists for Windows, Mac and Linux.
