About Online Notepad
Online Notepad is a free notepad in your browser for quick notes, drafts and lists. Your notes save automatically as you type and are still there when you come back on the same browser, with no sign-up.
Keep separate notes in tabs, show up to five side by side, and format text with fonts, headings, colours, lists, links and tables. Find and replace, a word and character count, special characters and full screen are built in. Save a checkpoint to go back to after a bad edit, and find closed notes again in the browser library.
Download any note as a Word document, web page, Markdown, plain text or PDF, or back up every tab in one file. You can also open text, Markdown, CSV, HTML and JSON files.

Frequently asked questions
Where are my notes saved?
In this browser on this device. They are not sent to a server, so they won't appear on another device, and clearing your browser's site data deletes them. Use Tools, then Back up all tabs, to keep a copy.
What is the difference between Save and Save as?
Your notes save automatically. Save sets a checkpoint you can reset to later, and Save as downloads a copy as a Word, HTML, Markdown, text or PDF file.
Can I open a Word file?
Not yet. Save it as text or HTML in Word first, then open it here.
