How to use it
- Drop a file, or several files of the same type.
- Check what type we detected.
- Click the conversion you want, such as Word to PDF or PDF to Excel.
- On the converter's page the file is already loaded; just start it.
One door to every office conversion
Office files need converting in all directions: Word to PDF for submissions, PDF to Excel to work with the numbers, PowerPoint to PDF for sharing, an e-book to a printable PDF. Each has its own tool, and it isn't always obvious which one you need.
This converter takes care of that. Drop the file, and it looks inside, offers only the conversions that make sense for that type, and takes you to the right tool with the file already loaded. The actual work is done by the converter you pick, with all of its own options, such as page selection, paper size or orientation.
Detection by content, not by name
File extensions can be missing or wrong, especially for email attachments. So the tool inspects the file itself: PDFs by their header, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX) by their package contents, and OpenDocument files and EPUB e-books by their internal type marker.
| File | Convert to |
|---|---|
| Word (DOCX) | PDF, JPG |
| Excel (XLSX), CSV | |
| PowerPoint (PPTX) | |
| EPUB e-book | |
| Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, PDF/A, EPUB, SVG |
If a direction isn't available yet, it's marked “Coming soon” instead of showing a button.
Detection works even when the file has no extension or the wrong one, for example an attachment that arrived as “.bin” or “.dat”. You'll still see what the file really is and which converter can handle it.
Old formats and locked files
Old Office formats (DOC, XLS, PPT from Office 97–2003), RTF and OpenDocument files (ODT, ODS, ODP) can't be read by the in-browser converters. The tool still recognises them and tells you what to do: open the file in Word, Excel, PowerPoint or LibreOffice and save it as DOCX, XLSX or PPTX. That takes a minute, and then every conversion works.
Password-protected Office files can't be opened in a browser either. The tool spots them and tells you to remove the password in the original app first. For a locked PDF, use Remove password.
Which conversion to choose
- Word to PDF for submitting, sending or printing without the layout shifting.
- Excel to PDF for quotes, lists and timesheets meant to be read, not recalculated.
- PowerPoint to PDF for sending a deck to attendees.
- PDF to Word, Excel or PowerPoint when you need to edit the content again. For scanned documents, run OCR first.
- PDF to PDF/A for archives and portals that require it.
- PDF to SVG when you need a logo or drawing as vector graphics.
Your file stays in your browser
Detection and hand-off both happen in your browser. Nothing is uploaded: when you move on to the chosen tool, the file is passed along in the browser's memory, not over the internet. If you open the target in a new tab, the hand-off doesn't happen and you'll need to pick the file again there. No sign-up, no watermark. If you already know what you need, you can go straight to a tool such as PDF to Word.
The finished file is created on your device and downloads straight to it.
Frequently asked questions
Which files does it recognise?
PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, EPUB and CSV files can be converted further. ODT, ODS, ODP, RTF and the old DOC, XLS and PPT formats are recognised too, with instructions on how to save them in a convertible format.
Why not just go by the file extension?
Extensions can be missing or wrong. The file's internal structure shows its real type more reliably.
Do I need to pick the file again on the next page?
No, it's passed along automatically if you continue in the same tab. In a new tab you'll need to select it again.
What does “Coming soon” mean?
That conversion is still being built. The other buttons already work.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Detection and hand-off happen in your browser and the file never leaves your device.
