FAQ

JPG is the most compatible and great for photos. PNG keeps transparency and sharp text and logos. WebP makes smaller files with good quality and works in every modern browser.

JPG has no transparency. Transparent areas get the background color chosen in the options, which is white by default.

No. The conversion happens in your browser, so your images never leave your computer.

With medium compression, the difference is barely visible on screen. Lowering the maximum size, like to 1920 px, shrinks phone photos the most.

JPG photos stay JPG. Images with a transparent background become WebP, which keeps the transparency and is much smaller than PNG.

The tool never gives you a bigger file. If it cannot compress any further, you get the original image back.

For a square post, 1080 × 1080. For a portrait post, 1080 × 1350. For stories and reels, 1080 × 1920. Use "Exact size" with "Fill".

No. Enlarging only makes the image bigger, without creating new detail. It may look blurry.

A watermark repeated across the photo is the hardest to remove. In the corner, it gets in the way less, but it is easier to crop out.

No. The photo keeps its original size and comes out at high quality.

Choose the "Square (1:1)" ratio, fit your face in the frame and download. Print it at 2 × 2 inches.

No. The crop uses the original pixels of the photo, without lowering the resolution.

No. Base64 makes the image about 33% larger. Use it for icons and small images, where saving an extra download is worth it.

No. The conversion happens in your browser.

No. The tool figures out the format from the first bytes of the image.

PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, BMP, ICO, AVIF and SVG.

Use a 1080-pixel width for Instagram. The height adjusts to the text automatically.

Yes. Check "transparent background". The downloaded PNG keeps the transparency.

Yes. In Edit mode, click the text: it becomes an editable box where you can rewrite it, delete it and change its color, size and font. The old text is covered with the page background color.

Click Sign, draw your signature with your mouse or finger and click use. Then drag the signature to the right spot and resize it from the corner.

Yes. The editor adds your elements on top without redrawing the PDF, so the quality does not change. Edited or deleted text is covered but still exists in the file. Do not use the editor to hide confidential data.

No. The editing happens entirely in your browser.

No. The resume is built in your browser, and the draft is saved only on this device so you can come back to it later.

Yes. The text goes into the PDF as real text, not as an image, so recruiting systems and job sites can read your resume.

In the US, most employers prefer resumes without a photo, so you can leave that field empty. In some other countries a photo is common.

No. Nothing leaves your device. To delete the draft, click Clear.

Yes. On a phone, use the arrows below each page to change the order.

No. The pages are copied from the original PDF, without redrawing the content.

You can merge up to 30 files of up to 100 MB each at a time.

No. The pages are copied as they are, without new compression. Text, links and images stay the same.

PDFs that only restrict editing work. PDFs that need a password to open must be unlocked first.

Separate them with commas. Use a hyphen for ranges: "1-3, 5" takes pages 1, 2, 3 and 5. "8-" goes from page 8 to the end.

By ranges, each range becomes its own PDF. When extracting, all the chosen pages go into a single PDF.

Medium compression works for most cases. Strong makes much smaller files with less sharp images. Light keeps everything the same but shrinks less.

With light compression, yes. With medium and strong compression, the pages become images, so the text is no longer selectable or searchable.

The tool never gives you a bigger file. If compression does not help, you get the original file back.

Yes. Each page has its own rotate left and right buttons. Adjust them all and download the file once.

No. The tool only changes the page orientation, without touching the content.

It is written into the content of each page, so it does not disappear with one click. Still, PDF editing apps can erase it. For confidential documents, use a password too.

Yes. Letters from Latin-alphabet languages, like é and ñ, work. Emojis and other alphabets are ignored.

Check "Do not number the first page". The second page gets the starting number you choose.

Yes. The number goes in the right spot and upright, even on rotated pages.

No. A scanned PDF is a picture of paper, with no real text. In that case the tool tells you no text was found.

No. The .txt file keeps only the text and line breaks, without bold, tables or images.

Yes. Use the arrows next to each image. The first one in the list becomes the first page of the PDF.

Yes. JPG and PNG images go into the PDF without new compression. Other formats are converted at high quality.

No. The tool follows the orientation saved by the camera and places each photo the right way up.

Yes. In "Images in the document", the site shows the photos and pictures stored in the PDF at their original size. Check only the ones you want. If the picture is drawn by the PDF itself, use "Crop an area".

150 DPI works for viewing on screen and sending in messages. Use 300 DPI for printing or when you need to read small text.

No. PDFs that need a password to open cannot be converted.

No. The pages are drawn in your browser, and the file never leaves your computer.

No. All processing happens in your browser. That helps with privacy rules, because customer and employee data never goes to a third party.

Yes, up to 100 MB. The preview shows the first rows, and the whole file is processed in the background when you download.

Excel does not detect UTF-8 unless the file starts with a special mark. Export with "UTF-8 for Excel" and the characters will show correctly.

Yes. Open .xlsx, .xls or .ods files and choose the sheet. Dates arrive as 2026-10-15 and numbers without formatting, and the steps convert them to the format you want. You can download the result as CSV or Excel.

It is the list of steps you built. Save it with a name and use it again on the next file, without redoing anything. You can also download the recipe and send it to a coworker.

Yes. The converter understands both 1.5 and 1,5, as well as values with thousands separators like 1,234.56.

Yes. US cups, pints, quarts, gallons, fluid ounces, tablespoons and teaspoons are included, along with imperial units and fuel economy in miles per gallon.

In "Increase or discount", choose Discount and type the price and 20. A $150 item with 20% off costs $120.

Percentage change compares two values: if a price went from 80 to 100, it rose 25%. A percentage shows how much a part represents of the total.

Yes. The conversion uses arbitrary-precision math, so numbers with hundreds of digits convert without rounding errors.

Yes. The 0x, 0b and 0o prefixes are accepted in the hexadecimal, binary and octal fields. Spaces between digits are ignored too.

It finds the closest fraction with a denominator up to the chosen limit. With the default limit of 1000, 0.3333 becomes 1/3.

Yes. Each line is converted in the right direction: lines with a slash become decimals, and the others become fractions.

Traditional Roman numerals have no symbol for 5000. Larger numbers used a bar over the letter, which does not exist in plain text.

The line gets a ⚠ mark. Forms like IIII or VX do not follow the rules and are not converted.

Up to the quintillions, with whole numbers or decimals.

Choose money mode and type the amount, like 1,234.56. You get "one thousand two hundred thirty-four dollars and fifty-six cents".

If both quantities grow together, like quantity and price, it is direct. If one grows while the other shrinks, like workers and days, it is inverse.

Yes. Put 100 in A, the total in B and the percentage in C. For percentages, the percentage calculator on this site is quicker.

Choose "per year" next to the rate and the calculator converts it for you. It uses compound conversion: 12% per year equals about 0.95% per month, not 1%.

No. It simulates gross interest. Real investments may have taxes and fees and lose value to inflation.

Anything that is not a letter, number or space: symbols like @ # $ % & *, arrows, stars, emojis and formatting marks. Punctuation is removed too, unless you check the option to keep it.

Not by default. If you uncheck the option to keep accents, accented letters are replaced by their plain version, so "café" becomes "cafe".

No. All processing happens in your browser.

Many old systems, web addresses, file names and logins do not accept accented letters. Removing them avoids errors and garbled characters like "café".

Yes. The tool handles accents from Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and other languages that use the Latin alphabet.

No. Only the accented letters change.

Periods, commas, semicolons, colons, exclamation and question marks, quotes, parentheses, brackets, dashes, ellipses and other punctuation.

With the option to keep hyphens checked, "e-mail" stays the same. Unchecked, it becomes "email".

Yes. Tabs and special spaces are treated as regular spaces and collapsed into one.

Yes. To join all lines into one, use the Remove line breaks tool.

A PDF stores each line of the page separately. When you copy, every line end becomes a break, even mid-sentence.

Yes. Choose the comma as the separator and every line becomes an item separated by a comma.

No. The content of script, style and noscript tags is removed completely, along with HTML comments.

Yes. The code is never run. It is treated only as text and processed in your browser.

Zero-width spaces, byte order marks (BOM), soft hyphens, text direction marks and control characters. They often come from text copied from websites, PDFs and messaging apps.

There is often an invisible character in the middle of the word. After cleaning the text here, the search works again.

Yes. Family and profession emojis use an invisible joining character. Removing it splits them into individual emojis.

No. They are kept because they are part of regular text. Only their colorful emoji version is removed.

Yes. The tool uses the official Unicode categories, which your browser updates over time.

No. The first occurrence of each item stays in place, and the later repeats are removed.

Only if the option to ignore uppercase and lowercase is checked.

Yes. The tool removes the whole part, from the first opening mark to its matching close.

Check the brackets option. Every numbered reference will be removed.

Yes. Letters like é, ñ and ü become É, Ñ and Ü, and the other way around, without losing the accent.

It follows headline style, like "The Lord of the Rings" instead of "The Lord Of The Rings". The first word is always capitalized.

Yes. Each emoji counts as one character, the way it shows on screen. Some social networks count emojis as two.

Using an average of 200 words per minute for silent reading and 130 words per minute when speaking out loud.

It splits after a period, exclamation mark, question mark or ellipsis followed by a capital letter or number.

They can, if the next word starts with a capital letter. Review text with many abbreviations.

It is cut at the limit, even with the option to not cut words, because it would not fit otherwise.

Yes. Each original line is wrapped separately.

Yes. Choose 160 as the size and "line break" as the separator.

Not by default: they are removed before grouping. Uncheck the option to count them.

Left to right, row by row, like reading a text.

Use tab as the separator. When you paste, each item lands in its own cell.

Yes. Choose "other" and type the separator.

Use the List to text tool, which joins the items with the separator you choose.

Choose single quotes and comma with space. The result looks like 'a', 'b', 'c'.

Check the option to use a word before the last item and type "and" as the word.

Numbered lists, HTML tags, SQL commands, personalized messages and any text that repeats with only one part changing.

Yes. Every occurrence of {item} and {n} is replaced.

No. Base64 only changes how the data is written. Anyone can decode it, so do not use it to hide passwords.

Use the Image to Base64 tool, which creates code ready for HTML and CSS.

In parameter mode, marks like / ? & = are encoded too, which is right for values inside a link. In full URL mode, they are kept.

HTML forms use + instead of a space. When decoding, the "treat + as a space" option handles that.

UTF-8 pages accept accents directly. Convert accents only for old systems or emails that do not use UTF-8.

Numeric ones, like é and é, and the most common named ones, like &,  , © and every accented letter.

The text was saved in UTF-8 and opened as Latin-1 (or Windows-1252). Each special character turns into two odd ones, like "é" becoming "é".

The tool repeats the fix while it finds signs of the error, so text that was garbled twice gets fixed too.

Plain letters are the same in both modes. An accented "é" becomes two bytes in UTF-8 (195 and 169) but has a single Unicode code (233). Use bytes for computing and character codes for ASCII and Unicode tables.

Not always. In binary and hexadecimal, the tool also reads everything joined together, cutting it into blocks of 8 bits or 2 digits.

Letters are separated by a space, and words by a slash (/).

International Morse has no accents, so "café" is translated as "cafe".

No. The content is stored in the image itself, without going through any server, so it works forever.

PNG works for messages and social media. SVG keeps its quality at any size and is better for printing, banners and menus.

No. The image comes out clean, with just the code.

Yes. They are generated in your browser with the cryptographic random generator used in security systems. No password goes over the internet.

At least 12 characters, with letters, numbers and symbols. For email and banking, prefer 16 or more and use a password manager to store them.

Google recommends hyphens in URLs because they separate the words. Use underscores only if your system requires them.

They become plain letters: "café" becomes "cafe".

GitHub Flavored Markdown, which includes tables, task lists and strikethrough text.

HTML already inside the Markdown passes through as is. If the text comes from someone else, review it before publishing.

No. Marks like < > & and quotes are converted into HTML entities.

Yes. Uncheck "include the <select> tag".

No. Empty lines are ignored.

Those marks are converted into HTML entities, so they show up correctly on the page.

Excel set to some European languages expects a semicolon as the separator. Choose "semicolon" when creating the CSV for those users.

They become columns with the full path, like "address.city". Lists inside objects are saved as JSON text in the cell.

No. JSON has no comments, so they are dropped in the conversion.

Yes. If the YAML or JSON has a syntax error, the message shows the line and column of the problem.

HEX with 3, 4, 6 or 8 digits, rgb(), rgba(), hsl(), hsv(), cmyk() and also three comma-separated numbers, like 37, 99, 235.

It is a direct mathematical conversion. Print shops use color profiles that change the values slightly, so confirm with them for print jobs.

US federal holidays, observed on the nearest weekday when they fall on a weekend. Columbus Day and Veterans Day only count if you check the option, since many businesses stay open. State holidays are not included.

No. Counting starts the next day and includes the end date, like most deadlines.

Current timestamps in seconds have 10 digits, and in milliseconds they have 13. In automatic mode, the tool decides by length.

The result shows in your computer’s time zone and also in UTC.

0.1 hour is 6 minutes. Each tenth of an hour equals 6 minutes.

Yes. 30.5 becomes 30:30:00, which is handy for adding up hours worked.
