PDF converter
Move a document between formats: PDF to Word, JPG, text or Excel, and images, Word and Office files into PDF. Free, and most of it happens in your browser.
Out of PDF
When the document has to be edited, reused or shown somewhere that will not take a PDF.
- PDF to Word — a .docx with real paragraphs, headings and tables.
- PDF to JPG — each page as an image for slides, chats and listings.
- PDF to Text — the plain wording, ready to paste or search.
- PDF to Excel — tables lifted into a spreadsheet.
- PDF to PowerPoint — pages rebuilt as slides.
Into PDF
When the file is finished and has to arrive looking exactly as you left it.
- JPG to PDF — photographed paperwork and screenshots as one document.
- Word to PDF — Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OpenDocument, layout locked.
- HTML to PDF — a web page saved as a document.
Picking the right target format
Ask what happens to the file next. If somebody has to rewrite it, convert the PDF to Word. If you only need the wording — to quote it, search it or paste it into a ticket — text is cleaner and smaller. If the page has to be looked at rather than changed, convert the PDF to JPG, accepting that the text stops being searchable the moment it becomes a picture. And if the document is finished, convert to PDF and stop there.
Where each conversion runs
Images, text and page rendering are all handled in the browser: nothing is uploaded and there is no server copy afterwards. Conversions that need real office software — PDF to Word, Word to PDF, spreadsheets and slides — run on our server over an encrypted connection, and those files are deleted automatically within an hour. Each tool page says which of the two applies, so you can decide before you start.
Conversion is not always the answer
A small correction rarely justifies a round trip through another format. The PDF editor changes the page as it is, Merge PDF and Split PDF reshape a document without touching its contents, and Compress PDF deals with the size problem that sends people looking for a converter in the first place.
Converter questions
What does it cost?
Nothing. No account, no daily limit, and no watermark on the converted file.
Is anything installed?
No. It runs in the browser, on a computer or a phone.
Does converting lose quality?
Images go into a PDF at their original resolution rather than being re-encoded, and pages are rendered out at the resolution you choose, up to print quality.
Why does my scanned PDF convert to an empty document?
Because a scan is a picture of a page and holds no text. It needs OCR first, which recognises the letters in the image.
