How to convert txt to asc file

Converting Plain Text Files directly to ASCII Text Files (.txt to .asc conversion) should be quite straightforward, since ASC files are basically already plain text files encoded in the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) - only texts with A-Z, 0-9 numbers and some special characters.

First, try to simply rename the suffix of your TXT file to ASC. Alternatively, you can convert your text file using one of many available simple text editors, such as for instance Sublime TextNotePad++, Brackets or Visual Studio Code and re-save the original text file only with ASCII encoding.

Understanding TXT and ASC file formats

TXT files are plain text files that contain unformatted text. They are widely used for storing simple text data and can be opened by almost any text editor. ASC files, on the other hand, are ASCII text files that may contain plain text or encoded data. They are often used for data exchange between different systems and applications.

How to convert TXT to ASC

Converting a TXT file to an ASC file is generally straightforward since both formats are text-based. The conversion mainly involves ensuring that the text encoding is compatible with ASCII standards.

Best software for TXT to ASC conversion

One of the best tools for converting TXT to ASC is Notepad++. This free text editor supports a wide range of text encoding options, making it ideal for this conversion.

  • Open your TXT file in Notepad++.
  • Go to EncodingConvert to ANSI to ensure the text is in ASCII format.
  • Save the file with an .asc extension by selecting FileSave As and choosing the desired file type.

Alternative converters

Other software options include UltraEdit and Sublime Text, both of which offer similar encoding features to facilitate the conversion process.
