## What is PDF Converter?

PDF Converter is a free browser-based PDF tool from Farvixo that lets you convert PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Images and more — or convert any file to PDF. It runs entirely on your own device using WebAssembly, so the document is never uploaded to a server. There is no sign-up, no watermark on the output and no cap on how many files you process.

## How to use PDF Converter

1. **Upload your file** — Drag & drop your PDF or source file, or click to browse. Nothing is uploaded to any server — conversion runs 100% in your browser.
2. **Pick your target format** — Choose PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, PNG, TXT, HTML or Markdown — or convert any file to PDF. Set your options and click Convert.
3. **Download your converted file** — Download instantly. Convert to another format without re-uploading — free, unlimited and with no watermark.

## Use cases

- Preparing a document for an email attachment or an upload form with a size limit
- Students and office workers who need one PDF change without buying a desktop editor
- Handling contracts, invoices or ID documents that should not be uploaded to a third-party server
- Cleaning up a scanned document before archiving or sharing it

## Tips

- Check the page count and orientation in the preview before you download — reordering afterwards means starting over.
- If a PDF refuses to open, it is usually password-protected; remove the password first, then re-run this tool.
- Very large PDFs are limited by your device memory, not by an upload cap. Splitting a 500-page file into parts is faster than processing it whole.

## Common problems

- **The PDF will not load** — The file is encrypted or was produced by a non-standard writer. Open it in a PDF reader, print it back to PDF, and try again.
- **Text comes out garbled or as boxes** — The PDF has no embedded font or no text layer at all. A scanned page needs OCR first — use PDF OCR, then re-run this tool.
- **The browser tab becomes unresponsive** — The document is larger than the available memory. Close other tabs, or split the PDF and process it in sections.

## FAQ

### Is PDF Converter free?

Yes - unlimited conversions completely free. No signup required, no watermarks. All processing happens directly in your browser.

### What formats can I convert?

PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, PNG, TXT, HTML, Markdown, and CSV. Also convert DOCX, XLSX, images, TXT, HTML, and Markdown back to PDF.

### Will my PDF layout be preserved?

For text-based PDFs, layout is preserved as closely as possible. For scanned PDFs, try our PDF OCR tool first for best results.

### Is it safe to upload sensitive documents?

Your files never leave your device - all conversion runs 100% in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

### What is the maximum file size?

Since processing is local, the limit depends on your device memory. Files up to several hundred MB work smoothly on modern devices.

### Can I convert scanned PDFs?

Scanned (image-only) PDFs work best with our PDF OCR tool first, which extracts text using AI. Then convert the result to Word or other formats.
