Document converter

Convert documents between Word, OpenDocument, Markdown, HTML and plain text, or take the text of a PDF into Word. It is free and runs in your browser: nothing is uploaded and you need no office program.

How to convert a document

  1. 1Drop your documents in, or click to choose them
  2. 2Pick the format to convert to
  3. 3Click Convert and save the result
  4. Your documents in the new format, or one ZIP.

What happens to your files

  • Nothing is uploaded.Your documents are read and converted by your browser, on your own device.
  • Structure comes across.Headings, lists, tables, bold and italic stay in place.
  • Several files at once.Drop in more than one and get them back together in a ZIP.

What you can do

  • Read Word (.docx), OpenDocument (.odt), Markdown, HTML, plain text and PDF.
  • Write Word, PDF, Markdown, HTML or plain text.
  • Make a PDF that looks like your Word file: fonts, sizes, colors and spacing are kept, set in free fonts of the same width (Calibri, Cambria, Arial, Times, Courier).
  • Use the fonts on your computer for the PDF (Chrome and Edge ask once) or add your own font files (.ttf, .otf).
  • Take the text of a PDF into Word, Markdown, HTML or plain text.

Good to know

  • Pictures do not come across, and headers and footers are not carried over to PDF yet.
  • From a PDF only its text comes across. A scanned page has no text, so the converter tells you there is nothing to take over.
  • Markdown and HTML headings are kept down to three levels; deeper ones become level three.
  • A PDF from a Word file uses look-alike fonts when the original ones are not saved in the file or installed.

Questions

Are my documents uploaded to a server?

No. The files are read and converted by your browser on your own device. They are never sent to us or anyone else.

Do I need Word or LibreOffice?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, so you need no office program.

Does the formatting survive?

The structure does: headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, bold and italic. Pictures and exact page layout do not.

Can I convert a PDF to Word?

Yes, its text. Add the PDF and choose Word as the format. A scanned PDF has no text to take over.
