This tool processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Favorites store only tool names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. When a button sends your result to another tool, it waits in this tab until that tool opens it, for up to a minute, and is then deleted.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Sharing and starting over

A copied link includes what you entered and your settings, so anyone with it can see them. Leave private text out. Files and results are not included; random draws are made again.

Start over puts the tool back to its starting values and closes any open file or device. Drafts you saved stay on this device until you delete them.

How to convert a PDF

Choose or drop the file. A PDF can become JPG or PNG images, one per page at 150 dpi, or a .txt file of its text. Photos in JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF become one PDF with an image on each A4 page, and a text file becomes a PDF on A4 pages with 2 cm margins.

Choose Convert and download the result: one image, or every image in one ZIP file when the PDF has several pages. The table under the converter says what converts here, where to go for more choices, and what does not convert here at all.

Worked example

A 12-page bank statement as a PDF: choose PNG images, convert, and download statement-images.zip with statement-01.png to statement-12.png, each page at 150 dpi.

Before you rely on the result

One PDF of up to 200 MB, up to 100 images or a text file of up to 5 MB at a time. Word, Excel, PowerPoint and e-book files do not convert here, and a PDF does not become an editable Word file here; the table says what to do instead. Scanned pages have no text to take out without OCR. Text in letters outside the PDF's built-in font, such as Greek, Hebrew or Hindi, goes into the PDF as a picture of the text. A PDF locked with a password has to be unlocked first. Nothing is uploaded.
