The Complete Guide to Converting Files To and From PDF

PDF is the format everyone can open, but it's rarely the format anything starts life in. Sooner or later you need to get content in or out of it. Here's the full round trip.

Getting into PDF

Word to PDF converts a Word document into a clean, shareable PDF. JPG to PDF does the same for images — combine any number of JPGs or PNGs into a single PDF file, useful for turning a batch of scanned photos or receipts into one document.

Getting out of PDF

Need the reverse? PDF to JPG converts every page of a PDF into its own image file. And if you just need the words, PDF to Markdown extracts a PDF's text straight into a Markdown file — handy for pulling content into a wiki, a static site, or notes app that speaks Markdown.

None of these require an account or a software install — open the tool, drop your file in, and download the result.
