Online2PDF
What it is
Online2PDF is a free web service for converting and managing PDF files. Its tools cover conversion, merging, page extraction and rearrangement, compression, OCR, protection, and layout options. Files can be converted between PDF and formats such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, OpenOffice, images, and XPS. PDF exports include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, text, image, and ebook formats. Each conversion allows up to 250 MB per file and 250 MB total, with up to 30 selected files. Conversions without OCR can handle up to 500 pages at once. Uploaded files are deleted after conversion, although converted files may remain downloadable for up to 90 seconds. Transfers use HTTPS and encryption. The service has no local version or web API, and automated scripts and bulk conversions are not allowed. Password-protected PDFs require the correct password.
