Convert to PDF

Convert files to PDF: documents, images, scans and e-books

PDF is the safest way to share a document: it looks the same on every device, prints as intended and is not changed by accident. The converters in this category turn Office documents, photos, phone scans, ID cards, web pages, text files and e-books into clean PDF files. They are free, need no sign up and add no watermark.

Which converter should I use?

• Word documents: convert Word to PDF from DOCX, DOC, ODT or RTF files, with bookmarks created from your headings and an optional PDF/A copy for archiving.
• Spreadsheets: convert Excel to PDF from XLSX, XLS, ODS or CSV, with formulas shown as their calculated values and an option to fit each sheet on one page.
• Presentations: convert PowerPoint to PDF from PPT, PPTX or ODP, with one slide per page and animations flattened.
• Any other format: Any File to PDF detects the file type from its extension and handles OpenDocument files, RTF, TXT, CSV, HTML, EPUB, SVG and even WordPerfect files.
• Photos and screenshots: JPG to PDF turns JPEG photos into one document, and Images to PDF also accepts PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP. Both let you set the order, page size, orientation and margins.
• Paper documents: Scan to PDF turns phone photos into straight, clean pages with edge detection, perspective correction, scanner style filters and optional OCR.
• Identity cards: ID Card to PDF puts the front and back of a card on one A4 or Letter page at real size, ready to print.
• Web pages and code: HTML to PDF converts an HTML file or pasted code into an A4 PDF with your CSS applied.
• Notes and plain text: Text to PDF turns TXT, Markdown, CSV or pasted text into a PDF with the font, size and page size you choose.
• E-books: EPUB to PDF converts DRM free books with chapters, images and a bookmarked table of contents.

How it works

1. Choose the converter that matches your file and drop the file onto the page.
2. Set the options you need, such as page size, margins, image quality or fonts.
3. Click convert and download your PDF. When you convert several Office files at once, you can download them together as a ZIP archive.

How your files are handled

Image, scan, ID card and text conversions run in your browser, so those files never leave your device. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, EPUB and Any File conversions need a full rendering engine and run on our server: files travel over an encrypted connection and are deleted right after processing.

Tips for the best result

• Set the paper size and orientation in your document before converting, so the PDF pages match what you expect.
• For wide spreadsheets, switch on the option to fit each sheet on one page so columns are not split across pages.
• In HTML files, embed pictures as data URLs. Images, stylesheets and scripts that point to other servers are not loaded.
• Photograph paper on a darker, plain surface in even light, then let Scan to PDF crop and straighten each page.
• Need several files in one PDF? Convert them first, then join the results with Merge PDF.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between JPG to PDF and Images to PDF?

JPG to PDF is made for JPEG photos and scans. Images to PDF also accepts PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP, so use it when your pictures come in mixed formats. Both place one image on each page.

Will my Word formatting be kept?

The converter keeps fonts, tables, images, headers, footers and links as closely as possible. Saving the document with its final edits and embedding unusual fonts gives the most faithful result.

Can I convert a scanned document into a searchable PDF?

Yes. Turn on the OCR option in Scan to PDF and choose the document language. The text is added as an invisible layer behind the scan, so you can search and copy it.

Can I convert e-books bought from online stores?

Only if they are DRM free. Books protected with DRM are encrypted and cannot be converted by WoowPDF or any legitimate converter. Public domain classics and many self-published titles convert without problems.
