How to convert files such as Word document, images and web pages to PDF format online

There are many sites that will convert files such as word documents into PDF format online. There is no need to download and install any software, an option you may be denied from carrying out on some computers you use. A disadvantage of online conversion is that there is often a size limit to files you can convert and larger files may take a long while to upload and convert.

Below is a selection of sites in case any are temporarily unavailable due to high traffic. The PDF files created by different sites may have different compression and quality outputs but the difference will be negligible to average users.

These sites also offer PDF to document (DOC,XLS,RTF and more) conversion but the quality of the created document (how easily you can edit them) may differ.

Very popular site that offers a huge number of file conversion options apart from word document to PDF. Select your file and what type you want to convert it to and have it sent to an email address you specify. You can upload files up to 100MB in size and up to five files simultaneously using the free service. Zamzar will store your converted files on its own servers for 24 hours after the conversion so you can retrieve them through the link they send you, in case they get lost. There are several paid options that will allow you to upload larger files, upload more files simultaneously, upload faster (there can often be a long wait time due to high demand),online storage and more.
