About Converting PML to TXT
PML is the markup used by Palm Digital Media and the eReader application (originally Peanut Press). It is plain text with backslash escape codes for structure and emphasis, so unlike its binary contemporaries a PML file can be read in any text editor. When you need to move away from PML, the usual reason is simple: obsolete.
Converting your PML e-book to TXT solves that. TXT is unformatted plain text — the simplest, most portable document format. It contains only characters, no styling, and opens instantly everywhere. In practice you gain universally readable and tiny files. PrivConvert runs the whole PML-to-TXT conversion in server memory and deletes your file the instant the TXT is ready — nothing is stored, logged or reused.
When this conversion helps
- You need universally readable
- You need tiny files
- You need future-proof
- Escaping a proprietary PML file for the open TXT standard
- Sharing a PML e-book with someone whose software expects TXT
Tips for best results
- After converting, open the TXT and skim the formatting — complex layouts occasionally need a small touch-up.
- Files up to 250 MB are supported, and you can batch-convert several PML files at once; each is processed privately and deleted immediately.

Why choose PrivConvert?
Converting PML to TXT should not mean handing a stranger a permanent copy of your data. PrivConvert processes everything in memory and forgets it instantly.
Runs in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS — no install, plugin or desktop software needed.
Each job runs in an isolated in-memory sandbox, so most conversions finish in seconds instead of waiting in a queue.
We never keep a copy. Once your TXT is delivered, both the original and the result are gone — there is nothing left to leak or misuse.
Every conversion runs in its own locked-down process with no network access, so files can never leak or interfere with one another.
