## Capabilities

- Free: Yes, with no watermark and no page limit.
- Account required: No. There is no account system.
- Processed on device: Yes. The file is read by your browser and never uploaded. There is no server to send it to.
- Formats: PDF in. JPG, PNG or PPTX out. Word and plain text are separate tools, because they extract the text rather than render the page, and the linked pages say what that costs.
- Limits: No page limit. Resolution goes to 300 DPI, which is print quality and roughly four times the pixels of the 150 that reads well on screen. A password-protected PDF is refused with the reason rather than handed back broken.
- Mobile: Yes, on any modern mobile browser. Large files are limited by the memory the phone gives the browser.
- Offline: Yes, once the page has loaded. The tool keeps working with no network connection.

## Questions

### Which output do I actually want?

If somebody needs to look at it, JPG. If it has to stay sharp when it is scaled or needs a transparent background, PNG. If you are going to present it or paste pages into a deck, PowerPoint. If you need the words back so you can edit them, neither of those will do and the PDF to Word and PDF to Text tools are the ones you want.

### Why is PDF to Word a different page?

Because it is a different operation. Everything here renders the page as a picture, which is exactly right when you want it to look identical and exactly wrong when you want to edit the words. Extracting text means reading the text layer and rebuilding a document from it, which is lossier in a completely different way, and it deserves its own page saying so.

### What DPI should I choose?

150 for anything read on a screen, which is the default. 300 if it is going to be printed or you need to zoom in, at roughly four times the pixels and four times the file size. Anything above that is rarely worth the wait: the PDF itself usually does not carry that much detail.

### Is a converted PDF still searchable?

No, and this is the honest cost of rendering. A JPG or a PNG of a page is a picture of words, so nothing can search or select them. That is a feature when you are sending a document you do not want edited and a problem when you needed the text, in which case use PDF to Text or run OCR on the images afterwards.
