Free Tools

File Converter

Convert between PDF, Word, Markdown, HTML, and plain text. No signup required, 100% free and privacy-focused.

Why these converters are free

QuillAid runs these conversion workflows in-browser so your files stay private. Use them as standalone tools or send results directly into the editor to keep writing with tracked changes and AI assistance.

How the conversion workspace works

Each workflow pairs a focused input editor with a live preview so you can check formatting before you export. Paste or drop your source content, make quick adjustments in the left pane, and see the rendered result update instantly in the right pane. When you are happy with the output, download it or send it into the QuillAid editor for deeper revisions.

  1. Pick the converter that matches your starting format and preferred export.
  2. Paste your content or upload a file, then tweak headings, spacing, and copy inline.
  3. Review the live preview to confirm links, tables, and lists render the way you expect.
  4. Download the converted file or open it in the QuillAid editor to collaborate with AI.

Conversion tips for popular formats

Markdown to PDF or Word

Use headings to organize sections and keep tables simple for the cleanest export. The converter maps Markdown structure to professional layouts, and the full editor can add covers, logos, and tracked changes if stakeholders need a Word version.

HTML to Markdown

Strip out inline scripts before you paste complex pages. The workspace preserves links, images, and code blocks while producing GitHub-flavored Markdown that is ready for repositories and knowledge bases.

Plain text to Markdown

Meetings, transcripts, and quick notes benefit from lightweight structure. Add simple markers like dashes or numbers and the converter will translate them into well-formed bullet lists and sections.

Why teams rely on QuillAid converters

Product marketers, technical writers, and support teams use these tools to move between distribution channels without rebuilding content from scratch. You can repurpose launch briefs for PDF handouts, turn HTML knowledge base articles into Markdown docs, or clean up plain text transcripts before they go to your documentation portal.

The converters share the same foundation as the QuillAid editor, so formatting is consistent when you graduate from quick conversions to full drafting. Every export respects headings, lists, tables, and inline code, helping you deliver publish-ready assets in minutes.

Frequently asked questions

Do conversions happen in the browser?

Yes. Processing runs client-side so your files never leave the page. For PDF exports, we spin up a secure worker that transforms the HTML preview into a polished document before downloading it to your device.

Can I keep editing after I convert?

Every workspace includes an “Open in Editor” action. It hands the source content to the QuillAid editor so you can collaborate with AI, track changes, and export again without starting over.

What if I need to standardize formatting?

Add custom styling or brand components inside the editor after conversion. You can build reusable templates that keep typography, logos, and spacing aligned across every PDF, Word doc, and HTML snippet you share.
