Detailed description

Text To File turns plain text into a downloadable file using a chosen filename and extension. It is useful for saving quick notes, exporting generated content, or creating small files without opening a full editor.

Supported file types:

  • .c — C source code.
  • .conf — configuration files.
  • .cpp — C++ source code.
  • .css — stylesheets.
  • .csv — comma-separated values for tables or lists.
  • .env — environment variable files.
  • .go — Go source code.
  • .html — HTML snippets or pages.
  • .ini — configuration files.
  • .java — Java source code.
  • .js — JavaScript source code.
  • .json — structured data exports.
  • .kt — Kotlin source code.
  • .log — plain text logs.
  • .md — Markdown for formatted notes and documentation.
  • .php — PHP source code.
  • .py — Python source code.
  • .rs — Rust source code.
  • .rtf — rich text format.
  • .sh — shell scripts.
  • .sql — SQL queries and scripts.
  • .swift — Swift source code.
  • .toml — TOML configuration files.
  • .ts — TypeScript source code.
  • .txt — plain text notes or logs.
  • .xml — structured markup for data interchange.
  • .yaml — human-friendly structured data.
  • .yml — YAML shorthand extension.

There is the option to input a custom file type, in case you need one that does not appear in this list. It accepts any extension and lets the MIME type be overridden; if left blank, the MIME defaults to text/plain.

Filenames are validated to avoid characters that are invalid on common file systems.
