What Universal Converter accepts
Upload PDF, Word (DOC/DOCX), Excel (XLS/XLSX), PowerPoint (PPT/PPTX), images including iPhone HEIC, HTML, and email (.eml / .msg). Convert-to cards adapt to the source — Word, Excel, PPTX, PDF, PNG/JPG ZIP, Markdown, PDF/A, or searchable OCR PDF.
Accuracy: Basic vs Advanced OCR
Born-digital PDFs convert cleanly with Basic. Scans and phone photos need Advanced OCR or you risk blank Word/Excel output. Always review tables and signatures at 100% zoom before sending contracts.
Free browser paths vs cloud
PDF ↔ PNG/JPG and images → PDF can run privately in your browser. Office conversions, OCR, HTML/email to PDF, and Markdown/PDF/A use encrypted cloud workers with automatic purge — same Pro credit model as dedicated convert tools.
Cross-format without extra tabs
Word → Excel or image → Word routes through PDF automatically inside the hub. You stay on /converter instead of chaining three landings.
