Convert PDF Online, Free — All Five Formats
Most "free" converters give you one output format and paywall the other four.
This one unlocks all five.
JPG, PNG, Word, Excel, and text — all free, all unlimited, all watermark-free.
No signup, no 5-page cap, no "Pro tier for other formats." One tool, one free tier, every format.
The classic freemium move: one free format that's just good enough to draw you in (often PDF → text, the cheapest), and paywalls on the formats people actually need — Word, Excel, high-quality images. Here, every format is on the same tier.
✔ All 5 formats free
✔ No page cap
✔ OCR for scans free
A unified browser-based PDF converter with every output format on the same free tier: JPG (canvas render), PNG (lossless canvas), Word (.docx via the docx library), Excel (.xlsx via SheetJS), plain text (.txt). Scanned PDFs run through Tesseract.js OCR locally, also free. One tool covers what paid competitors split into five separate Pro upgrades. Format-specific pages for deeper detail: PDF to JPG free, PDF to PNG free, PDF to Word free, PDF to Excel free.

Why "one format free, rest Pro" is the standard freemium move
The economics of server-based conversion force a split between a loss-leader free format and paywalled upgrades. Here's what changes when the converter runs in your browser.
One free format as bait
The typical freemium split: PDF → text (cheapest to run) is free, because the vendor wants the lead. PDF → Word, Excel, and high-quality images are Pro — they cost more server-side and people actually want them, so that's where the paywall sits. It's a conversion funnel, not a capability line.
Here: all five unlocked
Canvas for JPG/PNG, docx library for Word, SheetJS for Excel, native string extraction for text — every pipeline runs on your CPU. We pay the same (zero) regardless of format, so the same free tier covers all of them. The "Pro" split never made sense for us.
OCR for scanned PDFs, free
Scanned PDFs are the classic Pro trigger — competitors gate OCR ("recognize text in scanned documents") to paid tiers because it's CPU-heavy on their servers. Tesseract.js runs OCR on your CPU, so we inherit no cost — and you inherit no bill.
Batch + multi-format free
Convert one PDF to three formats simultaneously (say, .docx + .xlsx + .jpg) in one session. Each format produces its own output file. Many competitors gate multi-format batches to Pro; here it's a workflow feature, not a pricing feature.
Typical "free" all-formats converter vs this live race
Same ask: convert one PDF into Word, Excel, and JPG. Watch how "free" turns into three Pro upgrades.

Three steps — all five formats
No "this format is Pro" dialogs, no "upgrade to convert" walls. Drop, pick, download.
1
Drop your PDF
File loads into browser memory — no upload, no progress bar. PDF.js parses the document and exposes the text layer, positional data, and rendered page bitmaps for each format pipeline.
2
Pick one or many formats
JPG, PNG, Word, Excel, text — pick any combination. Each runs its own pipeline on the same source document. No "this format is Pro" tooltips anywhere.

Download outputs
Single format → direct download. Multiple formats → ZIP. All via local blob URL. Clean files, no watermark, no trailing ad page, no retention on our side.

Frequently asked questions
Which output formats are free?
All five: PDF to JPG, PDF to PNG, PDF to Word (.docx), PDF to Excel (.xlsx), and PDF to plain text. Free, from the first visit. Many competitors give you one format free and paywall the rest — here the whole converter is the free tier.
Is there a page-count cap on the free tier?
No. Convert a 10-page PDF, a 200-page research paper, a 500-page ebook — the same tool handles them all. Many "free" converters cap the free tier at 5 pages; here there's no cap because the conversion runs in your browser and costs us nothing per page.
Will there be a watermark on the output?
No. Every output format (JPG, PNG, .docx, .xlsx, .txt) is clean — no watermark, no corner stamp, no "converted with X" page inserted. Your content only.
Do I need to sign up to use it?
No. No account, no email, no phone. Drop a PDF, pick a format, download. Sign-in is only for optional AI features (chat, translate) — the conversion itself is signed-out-first, always.
Are the Word and Excel outputs really editable?
Yes. PDF to Word produces a real .docx with headings, paragraphs, and basic tables (via the docx library) — not flat pasted text. PDF to Excel produces a real .xlsx with typed cells (via SheetJS) where numbers are numbers and SUM/AVERAGE work out of the box. Both Word and Excel outputs are unlocked free.
Does it work for scanned (image-based) PDFs?
Yes. Scanned PDFs run through OCR locally via Tesseract.js — text detection happens in your browser, then feeds into the selected output format. OCR is usually Pro-only on competing tools; here it's part of the free conversion.
Is it really free with no file-count cap?
Yes. Convert one PDF or a hundred — no daily counter, no "come back tomorrow," no "upgrade for batch." Because the conversion runs on your CPU, we have zero marginal cost per file, so there's no economic reason to meter.
What's the maximum input file size?
Your browser's memory is the ceiling — roughly 500 MB on a modern laptop. Typical office PDFs (under 50 MB) convert nearly instantly. No artificial server-side cap since there's no server.
Does the PDF get uploaded anywhere?
No. Every conversion runs in your browser. PDF.js parses the document, the output-specific encoder runs locally (canvas for images, docx library for Word, SheetJS for Excel, string concat for text). Verify in DevTools → Network tab — no upload request.
Can I batch-convert to multiple formats?
Yes — pick multiple output formats for the same source PDF in one session. Each format produces its own output file, packaged into a ZIP if there are several. No "batch conversion is Pro" gate.
Can I convert password-protected PDFs?
Yes, with the password. Since everything runs in your browser, the password never travels over any network. Unlock → convert → download, all locally.
How does this compare to Adobe Acrobat's free online converter?
Adobe's free tier caps you at 2 conversions per day and requires sign-in for all output formats beyond Word. This tool has no daily cap, no signup, and unlocks all five output formats free. For very complex layouts Acrobat may have marginally better fidelity; for 95% of real-world conversions, this is equivalent or better.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Safari on iOS, Chrome/Firefox on Android all run the converter. Mobile browsers have less memory, so huge scanned PDFs may be slow — but routine office PDFs under 50 MB convert comfortably on a mid-range phone.
Can I use this for commercial work?
Yes. The output files are yours — no usage license, no commercial restriction. Freelancers, accountants, lawyers, and small businesses use this like a paid desktop converter. Commercial output is unrestricted.
What's the catch with other "free" PDF converters?
Common patterns: (1) only one free format, rest Pro-only; (2) 5-page cap on free conversions; (3) 25 MB upload size limit; (4) 3 conversions per day; (5) watermark on output; (6) signup before download; (7) OCR locked to Pro; (8) 24-hour server retention. None of those apply here — the browser-based architecture makes all of them economically unnecessary.
Five formats. One tool. Zero paywall.
JPG, PNG, Word, Excel, and text — all unlocked, all unlimited, all watermark-free. The freemium split never made sense for browser-based tools, and we don't pretend otherwise.
