Frequently asked

What is a TXT file?

The .txt file extension is used for plain text files. These files contain lines of text and can be opened in many text editors on different platforms and devices. The text does not contain any formatting.

TXT files are universally compatible — they can be opened with Notepad, TextEdit, VS Code, or any editor on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Because they store only raw text without any markup or styling, they are ideal for data processing, programming, and sharing content in a lightweight, portable format.
