Free online document converter
Convert between PDF, Word and Excel, or scan a paper document straight to PDF -- all free, all in your browser, with nothing uploaded to a server.
How it works
- Pick what you have and what you need: a paper document to scan, or a file to convert between PDF, Word and Excel.
- Upload your file, or use your camera for a paper document.
- Download the result.
What it is good for
Getting any everyday document -- a scan, a Word file, a spreadsheet or a PDF -- into the format you actually need.
Supported files and limits
Files: PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), CSV, and photos or camera captures for scanning.
- Each conversion has its own file-size and page limits -- see that specific tool's page for the details.
- Scanned and photographed pages depend on the source: a sharp, well-lit, straight page gives the best result.
Your files and privacy
Your file is processed in your browser, on your own device. It is not uploaded to PDFScanner's servers. PDFScanner counts basic usage, such as which tool was opened, but never sees what is inside your document.
Questions and answers
- Can I scan a paper document and convert it too?
- Yes. Scan it to PDF first, then use OCR or PDF to Word if you need the text out of it.
- Is there a limit on how many files I can convert?
- No daily limit and no account needed -- just the per-file size and page limits shown on each tool's page.
