Convert Word, Excel and photos to PDF on iPhone

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.

What you can convert

Convert a file to PDF

  1. Open Sheaf and choose Convert.
  2. Pick what you're converting, for example Word → PDF, Excel → PDF, JPG → PDF or Any file → PDF.
  3. Choose the file from Files, iCloud Drive or another app.
  4. Check the preview, then Save to Files or Share.
  5. Want to change something first? Open the new PDF in Edit PDF.

Photos and paper documents

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 on your iPhone means your document isn't sent to a conversion server. That matters for contracts, payslips and anything else you'd rather keep to yourself.

What's free

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.

PDF Editor & Sign - Sheaf: the private PDF editor for iPhone. Free to start, nothing uploaded.
