Why use this tool
Every PDF task, one place
Merge, split, compress, convert, sign, and more — no need to juggle separate apps for each job.
Private by default
Most tools process your file entirely in the browser — it's never uploaded. When a conversion needs the server, the file is deleted within the hour.
Works on any device
Runs in the browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android — nothing to install, nothing to trust but the tab.
Fast by design
No queues and no desktop app to wait on — most jobs finish in a few seconds, right where you are.
Convert to and from any format
Move between PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, and HTML — output stays true to your original formatting.
Free, always
Every tool here is free to use, with no watermarks, page limits, or forced trial period.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Upload a Word .docx file instead of a PDF and you get back an EPUB e-book, with its headings turned into chapters and its images kept.
Yes, unlike a fixed PDF page, the text flows naturally so it adapts to whatever font size and screen you read it on.
For a PDF, each page becomes its own chapter entry. For a Word document, every heading starts a new chapter, so you can jump straight to it from your reader's table of contents.
Yes. Short lines set noticeably larger than the body text are treated as chapter and section headings, and a large title at the start becomes the book title instead of a chapter.
Only the modern .docx format is supported. Open an older .doc file in Word or LibreOffice and save it as .docx first.
Headings, paragraphs, and tables are rebuilt from the PDF layout or taken straight from the Word document, keeping the structure readable even as the text reflows.
It produces a standard EPUB 3 file that works in Apple Books, Google Play Books, most e-readers, and any Kindle after converting with Amazon's tools.
Yes, for PDFs: tick the Use OCR option before converting and the text is recognised first, so a scanned or garbled-text PDF still gives you a usable EPUB.
