Document and File Converters
These converters handle office files, ebooks and archives. PDF to Word and Word to PDF cover the two most common requests, the Document Converter moves text between DOCX, HTML, Markdown, RTF and plain text, the Spreadsheet Converter switches between XLSX, XLS, ODS, CSV and TSV, the EPUB Converter reads and builds ebooks, and the Archive Converter creates, extracts and repacks ZIP, 7Z, TAR, GZ and BZ2 files.

Which tool do I need?
Edit the text of a PDF in Word
Convert it to DOCX. Text, headings and lists come across; the exact layout does not.
Send a Word document as a PDF
Convert the DOCX to PDF, choosing the page size and margins, then check the preview before sending.
Open an Excel file in a program that only reads CSV
Choose the sheet, the delimiter and the encoding, and save each sheet you need as its own CSV.
Turn Markdown notes into a Word document or an ebook
Convert Markdown to DOCX for colleagues who use Word, or package chapters into an EPUB with a title and cover.
Open a 7Z or TAR.GZ file someone sent me
Drop the archive in to list its files, then download one file or everything repacked as a ZIP.
About File Converters
Every conversion runs in your browser, so contracts, payslips and private archives stay on your computer. That also sets the limits. A browser has no copy of Microsoft Word, so PDF to Word rebuilds paragraphs and headings from the text in the PDF rather than reproducing the page exactly, and Word to PDF lays the document out again from its structure. Each tool says what it keeps and what it drops before you download.
Pick the tool by what you need to do next. To edit a PDF, convert it to Word; if it is a scan with no selectable text, run it through Image to Text first. To share a document that must look the same everywhere, send a PDF. To load data into another program, a CSV is the safest choice, keeping in mind that formulas and formatting are lost.
Guides
- PDF to Image and PDF to Word: What Survives the ConversionHow a PDF stores text and layout, why PDF to Word cannot be exact, which DPI to pick when rendering pages as images, and what to do about fonts and scanned pages.
- DOCX, ODT, RTF, HTML and Markdown: What Survives a ConversionWhy DOCX and ODT are zipped XML, what RTF and Markdown can and cannot hold, which formatting survives each conversion, and why Word to PDF in a browser rebuilds the layout.
- XLSX vs XLS vs ODS vs CSV: Choosing and Converting Spreadsheet FormatsHow XLSX, XLS, ODS, CSV and TSV differ, why Excel mangles CSV files (encodings, semicolons, leading zeros, dates), and how to convert without losing data.
- ZIP vs 7z vs tar.gz vs bz2: Choosing an Archive FormatWhy tar and gzip are two steps, what solid compression buys you, which formats Windows and macOS open natively, and how zip-slip and zip bombs work.
Frequently asked questions
Are my documents uploaded when I convert them?
No. The files are read and converted inside the browser tab and the results are saved straight to your device. Nothing is stored on a server.
Why does a PDF converted to Word look different from the original?
A PDF records where each piece of text sits on the page, not which lines form a paragraph or a table. The converter rebuilds paragraphs, headings and lists from those positions, so text is editable but columns, text boxes and exact spacing are not reproduced.
Can these tools convert a scanned PDF?
Not directly, because a scan is a picture with no text in it. Run it through Image to Text, which uses OCR to read the words, then paste or convert the result.
Which old formats are not supported?
The binary Word .doc format, PowerPoint files, Kindle MOBI and AZW3 ebooks and DRM-protected EPUBs. Most have no reliable browser library, and DRM is designed to stop conversion.
What is lost when I save a spreadsheet as CSV?
Formulas become their calculated values, formatting, charts and comments disappear, and only one sheet is saved per file. Dates and numbers with leading zeros are worth checking after you reopen the file.
