What this conversion does

TXT

Reading TXT

Plain text is taken literally. A line beginning with # stays a line beginning with #, because a .txt file has no markup to interpret — nothing is silently promoted into a heading, a list or a link, and blank lines are all that separate one paragraph from the next.

JSON

Writing JSON

A structured saveai.doc.v1 tree: a title plus typed blocks for headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, code and tables — ready to feed a script, a database or another tool, and convertible back into a document here at any time.

A real example

TXTInput.txt

Release notes 2026-08

# not a heading, just a hash
Two spaces  stay two spaces.

Both sides were produced by the converter on this page — the same code that runs when you drop your own file in.

How to convert TXT to JSON

1

Open the converter

Source and target arrive already set to TXT → JSON. There is nothing to configure.

2

Drop the file, or paste the text

One file at a time. You can also type straight into the editor and watch the preview keep up.

3

Convert and download

The result shows up in the preview pane first, so you can check it before the .json file lands in your downloads.

Common questions

Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no sign-up, no watermark, and no daily limit on this page.
How many files can I convert at once?
The converter handles one file at a time. For bulk work, the Markdown batch tools take up to 10 files and hand back a ZIP.
What happens to my file?
It never leaves your computer. This conversion is JavaScript running inside the page, so the file is read, converted and saved locally — there is no upload at all.
