Free online PDF converter
Convert PDFs to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, or PNG — and back. No signup, no watermarks, files auto-deleted in 1 hour.
'PDF converter' is a vague term — what people actually mean varies. Sometimes it's PDF-to-Word (the most common). Sometimes it's Word-to-PDF (close second). Sometimes Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, or HTML in either direction. PDFOnly does all of them, free, in one place — no need to find a different site for each direction.
Available conversions, all free for files up to 100 MB: • PDF ↔ Word (.docx, .doc, .odt) — preserves layout, tables, fonts • PDF ↔ Excel (.xlsx, .xls, .ods) — multi-sheet workbooks supported • PDF ↔ PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt, .odp) — slide structure preserved • PDF → JPG / PNG — page-by-page image export at 72-300 DPI • JPG / PNG / HEIC → PDF — combine multiple images into one PDF • HTML / URL → PDF — render any web page as a PDF using headless Chromium
For scanned PDFs (image-only), OCR runs automatically in 100+ languages so the output is editable text, not images of text. No watermarks on any output. Files auto-delete within an hour. No signup required.
Frequently asked questions
Which direction is most accurate?
PDF → JPG and JPG → PDF are essentially perfect (image transformations with no semantic interpretation). Word ↔ PDF is very accurate for most content. Excel ↔ PDF preserves spreadsheets when the source PDF had clear table structure. PowerPoint ↔ PDF works well for slides exported from PowerPoint, less well for slides reconstructed from arbitrary PDFs.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes — OCR runs automatically when we detect an image-only PDF. Output formats (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) get the OCR'd text as editable content, not embedded images. Quality depends on scan resolution; 300 DPI scans work best.
How is this free?
All conversions on the free tier are subsidized by Pro and Team subscribers who get higher limits, longer retention, and API access. The free tier is genuinely free — no watermarks, no signup, no per-conversion caps below 100 MB.
