What is an Online TextPad?

An online TextPad is a browser-based text editor that provides an instant, distraction-free writing environment. Unlike traditional desktop applications, it requires no installation and is accessible from any device with a web browser. Our TextPad goes further by keeping all data 100% client-side — nothing is ever sent to a server, making it perfect for sensitive notes, code snippets, or quick drafts.

Whether you're a developer jotting down code ideas, a student taking quick notes, or a writer drafting an article, this tool provides everything you need: auto-save, multi-tab support, live word count, text transformations, find & replace with regex, and even a split-screen Markdown preview.

Key Features

Instant Auto-Save

Every keystroke is saved to your browser's local storage. Close the tab and come back later - your work is waiting.

Multi-Tab Documents

Create, rename, and switch between multiple documents. Organize different notes, snippets, or drafts side by side.

100% Private & Offline

All processing happens in your browser. No server, no tracking, no cookies. Works offline after initial page load.

Drag & Drop Import

Drop any text file (.txt, .md, .json, .js, .html, .css) directly into the editor to open it in a new tab.

How to Use This Tool

Start typing — your content auto-saves instantly to your browser's local storage.
Create tabs — click the “+” button to add new documents. Double-click a tab name to rename it.
Import files — drag and drop text files into the editor or use the “Open File” button.
Use tools — find & replace text, transform case, toggle line numbers, or preview Markdown live.
Export — download as .txt, .md, or print to PDF. One-click copy to clipboard.
Pick a theme — use the global theme toggle in the header to switch between light and dark modes.

Markdown Drafting: Write blog posts, documentation, or README files with live preview.
Text Processing: Convert text between cases, slugify strings, or search with regular expressions.
Private Notes: Write sensitive content that never touches a server - perfect for passwords, keys, or personal thoughts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data stored on a server?

No. All data is stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage. Nothing is ever sent to our servers. If you clear your browser data, your notes will be lost - so use the export feature for important content.

Does it work offline?

Yes! Once the page loads, it works completely offline. You can continue typing, switching tabs, and all changes are saved locally without any internet connection.

How many documents can I create?

There's no artificial limit. You can create as many tabs as your browser's localStorage allows (typically 5-10 MB). For very large documents, consider exporting them to files.

Can I use regular expressions in Find & Replace?

Yes! Toggle the 'Regex' checkbox in the Find & Replace bar to use full JavaScript regular expression syntax for powerful text search and replacement.

What file formats can I import?

You can drag and drop or upload .txt, .md, .json, .js, .ts, .html, .css, .xml, and .csv files. Each imported file opens in a new tab.
