Notepad FAQs
What is this?
This is a free and simple to use notepad that runs locally in your browser. It's like a blank sheet of paper, ready for quick notes anytime.
It stores the text you enter automatically in your browser's local storage on your own computer or phone.
To make use of it just start typing in the text box above or load text from a local file. Next time you visit NoBSUtils.com/notepad, the text you entered will be restored so you can continue where you left off.
You can save a copy of the current text in a TXT file, copy to clipboard, or print.
Loading text from a file?
Click the the Load button above. It will prompt you to choose a text file to load.
The file you choose will never be modified or send over the internet. Its content is loaded directly into the text area above.
Saving the text to a file?
Click the Save button above. It will prompt you to save a copy of the text to a TXT file on your device.
How do I print the text?
Simply click the Print button or hit Ctrl+P on your keyboard. Only the content of the text area above will be printed.
How do I resize the text area?
Press the Esc key on your keyboard or click the Expand checkbox to toggle between default and expanded view of the text area. When in expanded mode, hit F11 to go full screen for an even more immersive experience. Also, you can simply drag the lower right corner of the text area to resize it to your liking.
What's the size limit on the text I can enter?
About 512kb (around half a million characters). This may vary though depending on your browser. The Notepad itself does not impose any upper limit.
Where is the text stored?
It is stored automatically on your own device (computer, phone).
The storage is managed by your browser. Since each browser has its own local storage, you won't be able to restore your text if you visit the site in a different browser than the one you use now. Each browser will restore its own stored text any time you revisit the site though.
Is my text uploaded to the cloud?
No. All text stays on your computer or phone and is never uploaded to the cloud or sent over the internet.
Who has access to the text I enter?
Anyone who has access to you browser on your device.
My text has gone missing?!
This may happen if you have deleted the browsing data of your browser or reset, uninstalled, or reinstalled your browser. Also, you might have simply deleted all the text in the text area above before closing your browser.
What is fixed-width font?
All letters and characters including empty spaces in the text area have the same width on screen or when printed on paper.
