About Convert to PDF

Converting files to PDF turns documents, spreadsheets and images into a format that looks the same on every device and is easy to share, print and archive. PDF is the standard for contracts, invoices, reports and forms because the layout does not change when it is opened elsewhere.

Golden PDF converts images (JPG, PNG), Word documents (DOCX), Excel spreadsheets (XLSX) and plain text or CSV files directly in your browser, so there is no upload and no waiting for a remote server. This keeps personal and business documents private.

Common uses

Turn photos or scans into a shareable PDF
Convert a Word document or Excel spreadsheet into a fixed-layout file for sending
Create a PDF version of a report for archiving
Prepare files for upload to portals that only accept PDF

Tips for best results

Check the output to confirm fonts and layout match your expectations.
