Paste text, download a .txt file
Opening a text editor, pasting, then hunting through a Save dialog is four steps too many when you just want the words in a file. Paste here, press Download, done.
Press ⌘V to paste
A screenshot, an image, text, JSON, a PDF, a whole file — anything on your clipboard becomes a download.
or drop a file anywhere on this page

Good to know
Encoding is UTF-8
Accents, emoji, CJK characters and mathematical symbols all survive the round trip intact.
Line endings are left alone
The text is written byte-for-byte as it was copied, so nothing is silently rewritten.
Questions
Can I choose Markdown instead?
Yes. Rename the file to end in .md and it saves as Markdown. Text that already looks like Markdown is detected automatically.
Is there a character limit?
No practical limit — the file is assembled in memory in your browser.
