Convert PDFs with ease

To Word, image, or text

Good old PDFs aren't going anywhere, and "how to convert PDF" has been trending on Google for decades. These apps will quickly solve your conversion tasks, freeing your time for more exciting things.

Nitro PDF Pro: Convert PDF to Word, image, and more

The easiest way to convert PDF is to use Nitro PDF Pro. You can turn PDFs into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, plain text, and more.



To convert a PDF in Nitro PDF Pro, choose File > Export in the app menu. Then, pick a desired format and click Export.

Besides converting, Nitro PDF Pro provides a robust PDF editing toolkit. You can modify text and images, merge PDFs, manage pages, sign documents, and more.

Prizmo: Turn scanned PDF into text

If you work with scanned books or documents, add Prizmo to your toolkit. The app extracts the texts from scans and images with optical character recognition (OCR).



After recognizing the text, you can save your file as a searchable PDF. This allows you to search, copy, and highlight the content in Preview and other apps. To export a searchable PDF, click the Share icon and select the desired pages.

TexSniper: Quickly grab text from PDFs

Want to capture only a few lines or paragraphs from a PDF scan? You don't even have to convert your document. Use TextSniper to copy the uncopiable from anywhere on your screen.



Simply press Cmd-Shift-2, select the area on your screen, and TextSniper instantly recognizes and copies the text. Ready for you to paste anywhere!
