Convert PDF files

Move between PDF, images and plain text.

Conversion changes the file format rather than the document structure. PDFYoga focuses on the conversions that work reliably in a browser: images, JPG output and plain text extraction.

FAQ

Which conversions are available?
JPG and PNG images to PDF, PDF pages to JPG images, and PDF to plain text. All three run fully in your browser.
Can I convert a PDF to Word or Excel?
Not in V1. Faithful Office conversion needs server-side layout reconstruction, which would mean uploading your document. PDF to plain text covers the case where you only need the wording.
Why is the extracted text empty?
Because the PDF is a scan: the pages are images with no text layer. Extracting text from scans requires OCR, which PDFYoga does not perform yet.
What resolution are the exported JPG images?
You choose the scale before exporting. Higher scale gives sharper images and larger files; the default is a good balance for screen viewing and reuse in documents.
