Pro Tips
- PDF to Word works best with text-based PDFs — scanned documents use OCR which may need minor cleanup
- Choose JPG for photos and social media sharing; choose PNG for graphics, text, and content needing transparency
- When converting to Excel, PDFs with clear table borders produce the most accurate spreadsheet output
- For image-to-PDF conversion, use 300+ DPI images for print-quality results
- Convert HTML to PDF to archive web pages before they change or are taken down
- After any conversion, compress the output PDF to minimize file size for sharing
