Good to know

Is this conversion available?

Yes, for supported DRM-free files. Some variants, corrupt files or memory limits can prevent conversion.

Are local files uploaded?

Local file contents are processed in your browser. Importing a URL contacts its host. The website still makes ordinary asset and analytics requests.

Will the formatting stay the same?

Text extraction can lose covers, images, fonts and complex layouts. Inspect the output and keep your source file.

What if my file is encrypted?

The converter does not remove DRM. Use an unprotected file you have permission to convert.
