Document Converter: Convert Documents in the Browser
Eight everyday conversions — PDF to images, images to PDF, Excel to CSV or PDF, Word and PDF to text, and PDF splitting — all running 100% in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
A supplier sends a PDF and you need images; a form only accepts CSV and you have an Excel file; you need three pages out of a 40-page PDF. The Document Converter in Utilities handles these small jobs on the spot. Every conversion runs entirely in your browser — the page says it plainly: files are never uploaded anywhere, so even a sensitive packing list or invoice is safe to convert on your own machine.
The eight conversions#
| Conversion | What you get |
|---|---|
| PDF → PNG | Every page rendered as a PNG image; several pages arrive as one ZIP. |
| PDF → JPG | Same as above in JPG — smaller files, handy for attaching a page to an email. |
| Images → PDF | Several PNG / JPG / WebP images combined into one PDF, one image per page, each page sized to its image. |
| Excel → CSV | One sheet exported to CSV. If the file has several sheets, you pick which one. |
| Excel → PDF | The first sheet rendered as a simple table in an A4 PDF — a quick printable copy of the sheet. |
| Word → TXT | Plain text pulled out of a .docx file — no formatting, just the words. |
| PDF → TXT | The text of every page extracted into one .txt file, with a “Page i / n” marker per page. |
| PDF Split | Pick pages with a range like “1-3,5” and save just those as a new PDF. |
The eight cards at the top of Utilities → Document Converter (/utilities/doc-converter) are the whole menu — one click selects the conversion and swaps in the matching panel below. Nothing else is hidden in settings.
Step by step: the flow every conversion shares#
- Click the card for the conversion you want.
- Click the drop box (or drag the file onto it) and pick your file. Image-to-PDF accepts several images at once; the others take one file. The file stays on your device — this step only points the browser at it.
- Set the option if the panel offers one: a sheet to export (Excel → CSV), or a page range (PDF Split).
- Click Convert. The result downloads automatically, and the Result / Preview area lets you download it again or check it first — text results show a preview (the first 2,000 characters). Stuck? Click Clear and start over with a clean panel.
Every downloaded result is stamped with the date and time in its file name, so converting the same file twice never overwrites the first result — both stay in your downloads, newest last.
Notes per conversion#
- PDF → PNG / JPG: a single-page PDF downloads as one image; a multi-page PDF finishes as a ZIP with one image per page, named by page. Pages are rendered at a fixed, print-friendly resolution — you do not pick one.
- Images → PDF: the order you add images is the page order, and each page takes the size of its image, so a tall phone photo and a wide scan can live in the same PDF.
- Excel → CSV: with several sheets, the sheet picker appears as soon as the file loads; the result message tells you the sheet name and its rows × columns, so you can sanity-check before using the CSV.
- Excel → PDF always renders the first sheet only, as a plain table — for a polished printout, tidy the sheet first (column widths in the PDF follow the page, not your Excel layout).
- Word → TXT accepts .docx only — the older .doc format is not supported; save it as .docx first. Formatting is dropped on purpose: the .txt is words only.
- PDF Split: after loading, the page tells you “PDF loaded: N pages” — write the range against that count, like “1-3,5” for pages 1, 2, 3 and 5. An out-of-range or mistyped range is rejected with a message, nothing is half-saved.
Converted something for the record? Keep the result where the team can find it: upload it to Documents, Docklify’s shared file cabinet (Documents → Upload), instead of leaving the only copy in your Downloads folder.
