Adobe Acrobat
The Adobe’s online service allows converting Word, Excel, PPT slides, and images to the native PDF. The reverse conversion to these formats is also possible.
Convertio.co
Fast and free document converter online, which also includes less popular formats DjVu, ABW, and DBK. To remove limits of the uploaded file size and concurrent conversions, you may consider a yearly subscription from $5.99/mo.
The Document Converter

Another advantage is a truly wide support of ebook formats. AZW, Mobi, ePUB, LIT, and others are present.
Preview
This well-known app is installed on Mac by default and suitable for simple conversions between PDF and image formats (PNG, JPEG, and TIFF). Word files and other Microsoft extensions are impossible here, though.
ConvertFiles
Those who deal with rather uncommon formats find ConvertFiles one of the best document converters online. Totally free, dozens of output formats, a straightforward process.
However, ads would get annoying when you have many documents to convert.
Online Convert
Recommended by many users online, this converter is free and supports all necessary formats – DOCX, DOC, PDF, RTF, HTML, and more. Paid plans start at 5,58 EUR/mo, disable ads, and unlock some additional non-converting features, such as OCR, text to speech, and generating invoices.
The service has an app for Android to change document formats on the go.
PDF converter
This Android app is a document converter and a scanner for PDF files. The output formats can be Word, Excel, images, or even AutoCAD.
Still, some conversions require an in-app purchase.
Word2md
This tool is a must-have for web writers, because Word2md allows converting DOCX and other text formats to plain markdown. Blog and forums are just some of use cases for the output MD file.
How to choose the best document converter?
To meet your requirements, a converter should support the desired input and output formats, process files securely, and be compatible with your operating system.
Although there are so many online converters and the process is rather easy, we recommend using an application for your platform, such as AVS Document Converter for Windows. With a desktop app, you don’t have to upload your sensitive documents to an online service.
Remember that format conversion is a complex technical process. Some formatting may be lost, and output documents will not look 100% the same as the original ones. Desktop converters usually provide better results.
Can I just change the file extension?
No. We strongly recommend you don’t change the extension of your document. Not only the format will not be converted, your file and the entire content may be broken and inaccessible anymore.
