Convert files to PDF

PDF is what you reach for when a file has to look the same everywhere. These tools take the formats people actually work in — Word documents, spreadsheets, slide decks, photos, web pages and Markdown — and produce a PDF with the layout, fonts and page breaks intact. That matters most when the recipient does not have the original application, or when a document is going to be printed, signed or archived and must not reflow on someone else's screen.

Frequently asked questions

Will my formatting survive the conversion?

Layout, fonts and page breaks are preserved. Documents that rely on unusual fonts installed only on your machine may fall back to a substitute, so review the result if typography is critical.

Can I turn several images into one PDF?

Yes. Add the images in the order you want, and each becomes a page in a single document — the usual way to send a multi-page scan as one file.

What happens to links and formulas?

Hyperlinks generally survive as clickable links. Spreadsheet formulas do not: a PDF stores the calculated values, because it captures the printed result rather than the live document.

Do these conversions run on your server?

Images are converted in your browser. Office formats, HTML and Markdown are converted on the server, because they need a full rendering engine; those files are deleted right after the job finishes.
