File Converters

These 22 file converters handle PDFs, images, audio and documents. Each one reads the file with the browser own FileReader and writes the result back out, so the file never leaves your machine.

What these file converters handle

Eight of the 22 work on PDFs: merging several into one, splitting a range into a new document, cropping the margins, rotating pages, stamping page numbers, adding a watermark, extracting the embedded images, and rendering pages out as pictures. PDF work runs through a library loaded into the page rather than a service, which is why a document you merge here is never transmitted.

Seven convert between image formats, covering PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG and TIFF, plus turning images into a PDF and HTML into a picture. TIFF is the one most browsers cannot display at all, so that converter decodes the file itself and exports each page as a separate JPEG.

The rest cover documents and media: Markdown and plain text into PDF, text into speech using the voices your operating system already has, text rendered in a handwriting font, Base64 strings back into images or audio, and two recorders that capture the screen or the microphone.

Conversions that discard information say so before you run them. Turning a PNG into a JPEG throws away the alpha channel, and cropping a PDF hides content inside the file rather than deleting it, which matters if you were cropping to remove something sensitive.

Picking the right file converter

Several of these produce a similar-looking result from very different starting points, which is where most of the confusion sits.

A PDF you want fewer pages fromSplit PDF, which pulls a range out. Crop PDF trims edges without removing pages
Photographs that live inside a PDFExtract images from PDF. PDF to image renders whole pages instead
An image that is too large for the webImage to WebP, or the image converter when you need a specific format
A TIFF your browser will not openTIFF to JPG, which decodes it in the page and handles multi-page files
A Base64 string somebody sent youBase64 to image for pictures, Base64 to audio for sound files
Text you want as a finished documentText to PDF, or Markdown to PDF when the source carries formatting

Frequently asked questions

Is there a file size limit on these converters?

The practical limit is your available memory, because the file is held in the page rather than streamed to a server. The multi-file tools refuse anything above 100 MB each, since a browser tab will not handle one reliably. A single large PDF often works well beyond that figure.

Does cropping a PDF actually remove the cropped content?

No. Cropping sets a crop box, which is the rectangle a viewer displays. Everything outside it is still in the file and can be recovered by anyone who changes that box back. To remove content, delete the pages or redact before you export rather than relying on a crop.

Why does my converted PDF come out larger than the original?

Usually because the original was already compressed more aggressively than the library can match, or because images were re-encoded on the way through. Merging is the exception: it copies page content across unchanged, so a merged file is close to the sum of its parts.

Can I convert files without an internet connection?

Yes, once the page has finished loading. The conversion libraries ship with the page and run locally, so no request goes out when you pick a file. You need a connection to load the page in the first place, but not to convert after that.

What happens to my file when I close the tab?

It is discarded. The file lives in the page memory for as long as the tab is open and is never written to a server or to permanent storage. Download the result before closing, because there is no history to return to and no copy held anywhere.
