Fast, secure T2T to TEXTILE conversion. No registration required.
Here is the short version — T2T is a document format oriented around a particular office suite or publishing pipeline. Hence the need for TEXTILE. A T2T to TEXTILE job turns one office document into another without retyping anything. Styles, pagination and embedded content cross the bridge cleanly because we use the same engine that powers professional document pipelines. Upload a T2T file above, adjust any Advanced options, and download a ready-to-use TEXTILE. One more beat. T2T is a document format oriented around a particular office suite or publishing pipeline. Receiving format: TEXTILE is a document format oriented around a particular office suite or publishing pipeline.
txt2tags
Source formattxt2tags is a minimal markup language that can be converted to many output formats including HTML, LaTeX, DocBook, and plain text. Its syntax is intentionally simple, using only ASCII characters for all formatting directives.
Textile Markup
Target formatTextile is a lightweight markup language that generates HTML from a human-readable syntax. It was popularized by the Textpattern CMS and the Redmine project management tool, offering a cleaner writing experience than raw HTML.
Why convert T2T to TEXTILE
Opening T2T in the tool that natively reads TEXTILE is rarely clean. Converting upstream rebuilds the document in the target format so headings become headings, lists stay lists, and the receiving tool does not flag layout warnings.
HOW TO CONVERT
T2T → TEXTILE
Drop the T2T file
Upload your document — or a ZIP of several documents for batch conversion — through the web form.
Convert through pandoc
Our pandoc-based pipeline opens the T2T, preserves structure and typography, and writes the TEXTILE.
Retrieve the document
Click the download button; the TEXTILE is delivered as a single file (or ZIP of files for batch jobs).
Common Use Cases
Email distribution
Office recipients open TEXTILE in their default reader; T2T may arrive with a missing-font warning or layout shift.
Signing and notarisation
TEXTILE is the standard format for DocuSign, Adobe Sign and notary workflows; T2T usually needs converting first.
Contract handoff
Legal teams exchange contracts as TEXTILE because it preserves formatting and supports digital signatures out of the box.
Form distribution
Fillable forms — tax documents, applications, surveys — live in TEXTILE and work on any platform that reads the format.
T2T vs TEXTILE — Strengths and limitations
What each format does best, and where it falls short.
T2T Strengths
- Plain-text source → multi-format output.
- Simple syntax.
- Tiny implementation.
Limitations
- Superseded by Pandoc.
- Tiny ecosystem.
- Limited modern tooling.
TEXTILE Strengths
- More expressive than Markdown in classical usage (tables, footnotes, classes).
- Mature implementation in RedCloth (Ruby), php-textile, js-textile.
- Core format of Redmine — millions of daily users.
- Clean human-readable syntax.
Limitations
- Market share decimated by Markdown since the mid-2000s.
- Not as widely supported outside the Ruby/Rails ecosystem.
- No CommonMark-style spec — implementations differ on edge cases.

Quality & Compatibility
Headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, hyperlinks and inline images all survive the conversion with their semantic structure intact. Rare features unique to T2T — legacy macros, form fields, obscure frame styles — are flattened to static content where no direct TEXTILE equivalent exists. Tracked changes, where both formats support them, transfer cleanly.
Tips for Best Results
- Round-tripping between T2T and TEXTILE (converting back and forth) can accumulate small formatting drift — do one conversion and stay in that format.
- If the T2T has tracked changes, accept or reject them before converting to avoid surprises in the TEXTILE output.
- Very long documents split cleanly at existing section breaks; add section breaks deliberately if you need precise page boundaries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, as long as the fonts are standard (system fonts or common office fonts like Arial, Calibri, Times, Helvetica). Custom corporate fonts survive if they are embedded in the source document; otherwise the conversion substitutes the closest available match, which can shift line breaks by a character or two.
Yes. Inline images are embedded into the TEXTILE at full resolution, editable tables become native TEXTILE tables, and hyperlinks keep their URLs. Complex features unique to T2T — macros, form fields, track-changes — are mapped where an equivalent exists in TEXTILE and flattened into static content otherwise.
All uploads go over TLS, files are processed in isolated containers and both the source and the output are deleted within two hours. No account is required, file contents are never indexed or used for training, and the paid plan adds a signable data-processing agreement for regulated workflows.
