The complete guide
A free PDF converter for 36 formats that never uploads your file
Most online converters make you hand your file to a stranger. You upload it, wait in a queue, and hope the copy on somebody's server disappears. This PDF converter does the opposite: the conversion runs as JavaScript inside your own browser, so the file is read from your device and written straight back to it. No upload step, no waiting, no copy of your document anywhere you cannot see — and no file-size limit, because the only ceiling is your own memory.
Why this PDF converter runs in your browser
Every conversion you start here has one of two homes: your device, or our servers. We built the engine so 123 of the 148 conversion paths finish on your own machine. A local conversion has no upload time and no queue, so a large file converts about as fast as your device can read it. No copy for us to leak or forget.
It also means the tools work on a phone, and they keep working when the connection drops halfway through a job. The only limit is your own device's memory.

What you can convert to PDF
Almost anything is worth turning into a PDF: it is the one format every bank form, government portal, printing shop and email client opens without asking you to install anything. A converter that only handled images would be thin, so this one covers the whole graph, and each conversion has its own page.
Converting a JPG to PDF lets you pick the page size, the orientation and the margins, and merge a whole set of photos into one document. Converting an HEIC to PDF solves the problem every iPhone owner hits when a site refuses their photos. Converting a spreadsheet to PDF lays the sheet out page by page.
Two pages cover the most common jobs end to end. Image to PDF conversion turns any picture into a document, andPDF to image conversion pulls every page back out at the resolution you choose. Images embed at their original resolution, so a scan stays sharp.

What you can convert a PDF into
Going the other way is where most people get stuck, because a PDF is excellent for reading and terrible for editing. The fix is to take the content into a format you can work with. APDF to Word conversion gives you a document you can edit, aPDF to Excel conversion turns the numbers into numbers you can total, and aPDF to text conversion makes the file searchable.
Turning a PDF into images gives you one picture per page at whatever resolution you need: 72 DPI to look at, 150 DPI to share, 300 DPI to print. Text stays real text, so it remains selectable and searchable. Turn a PDF into an EPUB and it becomes a reflowable book.
Free PDF tools for the jobs that come up every day
Converting is only half of what a PDF needs. The other half is fixing it: merging documents, splitting a long file into the pages you need, compressing one too big to email, rotating a sideways scan, adding page numbers, watermarking, cropping, repairing, unlocking, and scanning a paper page into a clean PDF. All of it runs in the browser, with no account and no limit.

A converter for images, Office files, spreadsheets, e-books, audio and 3D
PDF is the centre of the switchboard, but it is not the only thing here. The same browser engine moves between every other format too, so you never need a round trip through a PDF. Move between JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, TIFF and SVG. Turn a Word document into plain text, an HTML file into Markdown, an e-book into a web page. Pull a spreadsheet out as CSV or JSON, and move a 3D model between GLB, STL and OBJ. Or turn a recording into a WAV.
Image converters
Move between the formats cameras and websites actually use.
Office document converters
Turn a Word file into plain text, or a document into something you can edit again.
Spreadsheet and data converters
Pull a table out of a spreadsheet and reshape it as JSON.
E-book, archive, audio, video and 3D converters
Read a book as plain text, pull images out of a zip, or export a 3D model.

- Your file stays on your deviceNothing is transmitted, so there is no copy of your document on a server and nothing to leak.
- No account, no watermark, no capNo sign-up, no email capture, no “converted with” banner and no file-size ceiling.
- One switchboard, not a wall of toolsThe whole format graph is mapped once, so you can see what a file can become before you drop it.
Questions
PDF converter questions
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The site is built mobile-first, and you can pick files straight from your camera roll or from Drive. There is a camera scanner too, so you can photograph a document and turn it into a straight PDF.
Do my files get uploaded to a server?
Not for most of them. 123 of the 148 conversion paths — images to PDF, PDF to images, PDF to text, PDF to Word, PDF to Excel, spreadsheets and e-books — run entirely inside your browser. Your file never leaves your device, so nothing can leak.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no limit set by us, because the file is never uploaded. The only ceiling is your device’s memory. A very large file will still convert on a laptop, but turning a 200 MB PDF into images on a phone may run the tab out of memory.
Will there be a watermark on my PDF?
No. There is no watermark, no banner, no “converted with” line and nothing added to the page. The file you download is the file you made, and you can use it commercially.
Which formats can this PDF converter handle?
Thirty-six source formats are wired up: images such as JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, BMP, HEIC, AVIF and SVG; Office documents including DOCX, ODT and RTF; spreadsheets in XLSX, XLS, CSV and ODS; plus e-books, archives, JSON, XML, audio, video and 3D models.
Can I convert a PDF to Word or Excel?
PDF to DOCX, PDF to XLSX, PDF to CSV, PDF to text and PDF to Markdown all work on your device today. PDF to PowerPoint is next in the queue, and turning a PDF into images gives one picture per page at 72, 150 or 300 DPI.
Is this PDF converter really free?
Yes, and it stays free. Every conversion that runs in your browser is unlimited and needs no account — no watermark, no page cap and no file-size cap. We make money from business plans, never from blocking the tools you already use.
