Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do with the Online Notepad?
Write, format, and save text notes directly in your browser. It supports bold, italic, underline, alignment, bullet lists, and more. Notes are saved to localStorage and persist across sessions.
Will my notes be saved if I close the browser?
Yes, your notes are automatically saved to your browser's localStorage. They will remain available when you return to the notepad, even after closing your browser or restarting your device.
Can I access my notes from different devices?
Notes are stored in the browser you're using, so they won't automatically sync across devices. To access notes on another device, export them as a .txt file and open that on your other device.
What export formats are available?
You can export individual notes as .txt (plain text) or .docx (styled HTML that Word and LibreOffice can open). You can also download all notes at once as a single combined .txt file.
Do you store my notes on your servers?
No. All notes are kept in your browser's localStorage. Your content never reaches our servers. You have complete control over your data, including the ability to clear it at any time.
Is there a character or note limit?
There is no enforced limit on note count or length, but localStorage typically allocates ~5MB per domain. Extremely large documents may affect performance, and very large collections may approach the storage limit.
Why use an online notepad instead of a desktop app?
An online notepad is accessible from any device with a browser without requiring installation. It's perfect for quick notes on a public computer, a temporary scratchpad during a meeting, or when you simply don't want to open a full word processor.
