IOS 14.8 saving an email txt file attachment to Notes (or Files folder) and being able to edit it

I have some short txt files on a PC that I would like to get onto the iphone AND be able to edit them after.

I see I can save a txt file attachment to notes, but it saves as an image.

I see that ios 15+ can ocr an image, but is there no more direct route than a 2 step conversion?


Is there maybe a util that will convert an exiting txt file to a native notes format before I email it over?

Not being able to edit limits the usefulness of transferring these files.

iPhone SE, iOS 14

The 'Save to Notes' feature won't get me there. Copy the text of each file to the body of an email instead of as an attachment, then copy/paste to Notes.
