Important Note About Data Storage

Your notes are stored only in your browser's local storage. Clearing your browser data may delete your saved notes. For important documents, use the Export feature to save them permanently on your device or cloud storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, our online notepad is completely free to use with no limitations. There are no hidden fees, registration requirements, or premium features. You can use it as much as you want without any cost.

Your notes are saved in your browser's local storage, which means they stay on your device and aren't sent to any server. This provides privacy but also means your notes are tied to the browser and device you used to create them. For permanent storage, use the Export feature.

Since notes are stored in your browser's local storage, they're only available on the device where you created them. To access notes across devices, you would need to export them from one device and import on another, or use cloud storage synchronization.

Browser storage limits vary, but most modern browsers allow at least 5MB of data per domain. For practical purposes, you can work with documents containing hundreds of pages of text. For extremely large documents, performance might be affected.

No, clearing your browser data will delete all locally stored notes. We strongly recommend exporting important documents to your device or cloud storage. The auto-save feature is convenient but shouldn't be relied upon for critical data backup.

This is primarily a plain text editor with some basic formatting options (bold, italic, underline). For complex formatting like you'd find in Word, we recommend dedicated word processors. Our tool excels at quick notes, code snippets, and other plain text applications.
