Do I need special software to convert PDF files?

How do I turn a photo into a PDF?
Our online PDF converter handles image files just as smoothly as Word documents or Excel sheets. Just drag and drop your JPEG, PNG, BMP or other photo file into the dropzone above and let the convertor do its thing. It only takes two ticks.
What happens when you convert a document to PDF?
When you convert a document to PDF, you lock down its images, fonts and other features so you can share it with others. This helps you ensure that each user gets a consistent visual, and the formatting doesn’t go awry between different programmes and devices. PDFs are a great choice for professional documents, brochures, posters and more.
Is converting files to and from PDF safe?
Yes. We’re committed to your privacy and security, so you can use our tools with complete peace of mind.
Do I need a PDF converter?
Sometimes, you might be able to save certain files – like Word documents – as a PDF rather than converting it online. However, if you’re looking for a more versatile option that can handle different file types and then complete other PDF editing tasks for you, then a converter is a better choice. As the inventor of the PDF, Adobe Acrobat online is the perfect place to do it. And it’s 100% free.
Which devices can I use to convert files?
You can use any device with an internet connection and access to a web browser like Google or Safari. Use your desktop, phone, or laptop to convert a file to or from a PDF with our free Acrobat PDF converter online tool.
