Documents & PDF

Convert between PDF, Word, ODT, RTF, TXT, Markdown, HTML, EPUB, PowerPoint and Excel.

• Convert: add files, pick the format, click Convert. Fonts, sizes and colours are kept where the format allows.
• Pages to images: save each page of a PDF or document as a picture.
• Combine into one PDF: turn several files into a single PDF, in the order of the list.
• Compress PDF: when a PDF is in the list, choose Compress PDF under Convert to and enter the size it may be at most (for example 500 KB or 2 MB). The pictures inside are made smaller, step by step, until the file fits; text and drawings stay sharp. If it can't get that small, the smallest possible version is saved and the app tells you its size. Protected PDFs keep their password.
• Scans and print files are read with text recognition, so you get editable text. See Text recognition (OCR).
• PDF to Word: the text always arrives as text you can edit, even when the page has a background or a scan behind it (searchable scanned PDFs); backgrounds and scans that only repeat the text are left out, real photos are kept.
• PowerPoint: every page becomes a slide with editable text boxes in the page's fonts and sizes, and its tables and pictures where they were.

Exact Office layouts (Windows and Mac, optional): if LibreOffice (free, www.libreoffice.org) is installed, Word and Office files are converted to PDF with their exact layout, and old .doc / .ppt files can be opened too. Universal Converter finds it automatically.
