A TEXT file is an ordinary plain-text document, the same thing as a .txt file — unformatted characters with no styling, images, or layout attached. Everything the file contains is readable as-is, which is why plain text is used for notes, logs, configuration files, source code, and data exports. The only piece of hidden information is the character encoding, typically UTF-8, which tells software how to turn the stored bytes back into letters.
How to open a TEXT file?
Any text editor will do. Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, and gedit on Linux all open the file instantly, and so does every web browser.
If the document is very large or contains code, Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code handle it far more comfortably and let you switch encodings when characters display incorrectly. Word processors such as Microsoft Word and LibreOffice Writer can import the text if you want to add formatting. You can also convert the file with our TXT to PDF tool.
