Turn almost any document or photo into a PDF on your iPhone, ready to send or edit, and turn a PDF back into Word or images when you need to. The conversion runs on your phone.

- From PDF: PDF to Word (.docx) and PDF to JPG.
Convert a file to PDF

- Pick what you're converting, for example Word → PDF, Excel → PDF, JPG → PDF or Any file → PDF.
- Choose the file from Files, iCloud Drive or another app.
- Check the preview, then Save to Files or Share.

Photos and paper documents
- Photos to PDF turns photos from your library into one PDF, one photo per page.
- Scan to PDF uses the camera and crops the page automatically, so a receipt or letter comes out straight.
- OCR Scan (Pro) makes a scanned PDF searchable, so you can find and copy its text.
PDF back to Word or images
Choose Convert, then PDF → Word for a .docx you can open in Word, Pages or Google Docs, or PDF → JPG to save each page as an image.

Converting is free to use. You can save 3 files a day for free by watching one short ad each, on files up to 15 pages or 10 MB; otherwise it's $0.99 per file, or Pro for no ads and no limits.
