Frequently asked questions

Is this PDF converter really free?

Yes. Every tool on PDFForge is 100% free with no watermarks, no sign-up and no daily limits. Because conversions run in your browser, we have no server costs to pass on to you.

Are my files safe and private?

Completely. Your files are processed locally on your device and are never uploaded to a server, stored, or shared. Nothing leaves your computer or phone.

Do I need to install any software?

No installation is required. The converter works in any modern browser on desktop and mobile. You can optionally install it as a Progressive Web App for offline use.

What file formats can I convert?

You can convert between PDF and Word, Excel, JPG, PNG, HTML, text, CSV and more, plus compress, merge, split, rotate, watermark and unlock PDFs.

Is there a file size limit?
