Convert documents and files to PDF
Use this free file-to-PDF converter to make a PDF from common office documents, text files, data files and images. Supported formats include Word DOCX, Excel XLSX, TXT, JSON, Markdown, CSV, XML, HTML, RTF, JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP. Files can be up to 20 MB.
What to expect from each format
DOCX text and XLSX cell values are extracted and laid out as a clean, readable PDF. Text styles, page layouts, formulas and spreadsheet formatting are not reproduced. CSV rows are kept in order. JSON is formatted with indentation before conversion; Markdown is included as readable text. HTML is converted to its visible text, while XML is preserved as text.
Images are placed on a single PDF page that follows their portrait or landscape proportions. They are not stretched; transparent areas are filled white and animated GIFs use their first frame. Images are limited to 50 megapixels.
When a PDF copy is useful
PDF is widely accepted by online forms, email systems, printers and document archives. Convert a Word file before sharing a fixed copy, turn spreadsheet data into a document for printing, or save a text or JSON file in a format that is easy to send and review. The original file is not changed.
Your file and privacy
Files are uploaded to the server for conversion. The generated PDF is returned as a download and removed after it is sent. Avoid uploading sensitive files unless you are permitted to share them with this service.
