Create Text File
Type your text, set a file name, and get a ready file. Choose the encoding and line endings — they decide whether the file opens readably wherever you take it.
The file will be saved as zametka.txt. We remove characters that file systems cannot handle.
Encoding and line breaks Hide encoding and line breaks
The old Windows Notepad and some accounting software show Russian text in UTF-8 as unreadable characters. If the file goes to such a program, choose Windows-1251.
The file is built right in the browser and never leaves it — neither the text nor the file name reaches our server.
UTF-8 works almost everywhere, but the old Windows Notepad and some accounting programs expect Windows-1251 and show everything else as unreadable garbage. That is why the encoding is something you choose, not something decided for you.
If the text contains characters that Windows-1251 does not have, such as Turkish or Chinese letters, we tell you before saving and list them. Silently replacing those characters with question marks would mean handing you a corrupted file, and you would only find out from the recipient.
Line endings
Windows marks the end of a line with two characters, Linux and macOS with one. A file with Linux-style line endings appears as one solid line in the old Notepad. Windows endings are the default because they read everywhere, but a switch is there if you need the other kind.
Mark at the start of the file
Three service bytes can be added to UTF-8, and Windows uses them to recognize the encoding without guessing. On Linux this mark usually gets in the way: it lands in the first line and breaks parsing. So it is off by default and enabled with a checkbox.
What you see before saving
The size of the future file and the number of lines are visible before you save anything.
