Convert any file to PDF, and then back

Working with PDF files has multiple benefits, with the converter to PDF being among the most used features of a PDF editor. PDF is the most used format for sharing documents - it can be viewed or printed from just about any device regardless of its operating system, included software, or installed fonts. The file format makes reading PDFs possible on different devices without any changes to the look and feel of the original document. In addition, PDFs keep all information of the source file, including text structure, formatting elements, visual elements, and graphics. Even multimedia features, like hyperlinks, markups, text notes, movies, and music are preserved when converting to PDF. 

The PDF format allows the safe processing of your sensitive digital documents. By supporting various types of encryption, digital signatures, and password-restricted viewing, copying, and even printing, you keep your confidential files safe and ensure that they won't be accessed by anyone else but your intended audience.

If you don’t want to download and install any software, use our free and fully web-based PDF converter instead. The only thing you need is an internet connection.

Zip files are a type of archive format that cannot be directly converted to a PDF. You can, however, unzip the archive’s contents and then convert each file to your desired format.

The best way you can do that is to use PDF Extra. Our Windows editor also allows you to export each page of a PDF as a dedicated JPG or PNG file.

If you’ve followed all the steps above and the online converter doesn’t work, you may have uploaded a file larger than 20 MB or an unsupported file. Sometimes, this can also be caused by an unreliable internet connection - simply refresh the page and try again.
