How to turn Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images and web pages into PDF

A PDF looks the same on every device and prints the way you expect, which is why forms, schools and employers ask for one. GrovePDF converts seven kinds of file.

Word to PDF

Word to PDF converts .docx files and keeps headings, lists, tables, pictures, headers, footers and page numbers. Fonts are replaced by standard PDF fonts, so a few lines may break slightly differently. Charts, SmartArt, footnotes and multi-column layouts are simplified. Have an old .doc file? Save it as .docx in Word or LibreOffice first.

PowerPoint to PDF

PowerPoint to PDF gives one page per slide, as each slide looks once its animations have played. Hidden slides and speaker notes are left out, just like when you present. Charts, video and 3D effects aren't drawn.

Excel to PDF

Excel to PDF prints every visible sheet with its formatting, number formats, merged cells and pictures. Keep Fit to page width on for wide sheets, or choose Landscape for more room. Seeing ### in a cell? As in Excel, the number is wider than its column.

JPG, PNG and WEBP to PDF

JPG to PDF combines up to 30 images into one PDF. Reorder them, then choose Fit image to keep each photo's shape, or A4 or Letter for printing. iPhone HEIC photos need to be shared as JPG first.

Scan paper with your phone

Camera Scanner turns paper documents into a clean PDF with your camera. Tap Open camera (on a phone, or a computer with a webcam), take a photo of each page and tap Make PDF: GrovePDF finds the page edges, straightens each page, cleans it up like a scanner and gives you the PDF. AI turns pages upright and picks the best look for each one (black and white, grey or Magic colour), ID cards keep their real size, and a switch makes the text searchable.

Web pages and HTML to PDF

HTML to PDF converts a saved web page with its headings, tables, pictures and styles. Save the page in your browser (File › Save Page As, ideally as a single file), then drop the .html file in. The page's scripts don't run, which keeps you safe.

CSV to PDF

CSV to PDF turns a CSV or TSV export into a printable table: bold header row, aligned numbers, wrapped text and columns sized to the page. Commas, semicolons, tabs and vertical bars are detected automatically, and accented letters come out right.
