Converti PDF da e verso altri formati — senza caricarli
Converti PDF in JPG, PNG, testo semplice e Markdown, trasforma immagini in PDF, esegui OCR su pagine scansionate, conversa con un documento tramite IA, comprimi per l'invio via email e confronta versioni. Tutto nel browser.
La maggior parte dei documenti non arriva nel formato che ti serve. Un contratto scansionato è una pila di immagini che devi poter leggere come testo. Un catalogo prodotti arriva come PDF e il team di design ha bisogno di JPG di ogni pagina per la diffusione social. Una lunga memoria legale è più facile da riassumere quando puoi fare una domanda in italiano. Un rapporto è diventato troppo grande per l'email e ti serve una copia più leggera che resti ben leggibile. La cassetta degli attrezzi Convertire è il ponte tra il PDF e i formati che lo affiancano. Questa pagina raccoglie tutti gli strumenti PdfWiseAI che cambiano il formato di un documento invece della sua struttura interna: trasformare pagine PDF in immagini, trasformare immagini in PDF, estrarre testo leggibile da un PDF, eseguire OCR su pagine di sole immagini, fare una domanda su un documento tramite IA, ridurre le dimensioni di un PDF per la consegna, e confrontare due versioni di un documento affiancate. L'esportazione di immagini, l'esportazione di testo e l'OCR funzionano localmente nel browser. La chat IA è l'unica operazione che invia testo del documento a un servizio remoto, e solo il testo necessario alla risposta — il PDF binario non viene trasmesso. Se sai in quale formato devi andare, salta direttamente a quella sezione. Se non sei sicuro che un file sia un PDF vero o una scansione, la sezione OCR spiega come distinguerli e cosa fare dopo.
PDF to Images
How to convert PDF pages to JPG or PNG
Export every page of a PDF as a high-quality image. Useful for presentations, design previews, social posts, thumbnails and any system that accepts images but not PDF documents. Choose JPG for small file size or PNG when you need pixel-exact rendering with no compression artefacts, then pick a quality level appropriate to the destination. Rendering runs locally, so the source PDF does not pass through a third-party conversion server.

How to convert JPG and PNG images to PDF
Combine photos, scans, receipts or screenshots into a single PDF. Each image becomes one page, in the order you select, and the result is a PDF that is easier to share, archive and annotate than a folder of loose files. Useful for expense reports, scan bundles, portfolios and application documents. The PDF is created in the browser; the source images are not uploaded.
Try Images to PDF →PDF to Text
How to extract text from a PDF
Pull the readable content of a PDF out as a plain text file, with page boundaries preserved so the output can be traced back to the source. Useful for notes, analysis, search and reuse. The tool works best with digitally generated PDFs that contain selectable text. Scanned, image-only documents need OCR first — see the OCR section below for that workflow.

How to OCR a scanned PDF
Run optical character recognition on image-only PDFs in the browser. Tesseract.js renders each page at 2× resolution and detects the text, producing a page-by-page text report you can download. Useful for digitising paper records, making scanned documents searchable, and unlocking text that an image viewer cannot select. If a PDF already has selectable text, OCR is skipped automatically to save time.
Try OCR PDF →Chat with PDF
How to chat with a PDF using AI
The only operation on this page that does not run entirely in the browser. PdfWiseAI reads the text out of the PDF locally, then sends the relevant text plus your question to an AI service. The binary PDF never leaves your device. Useful for summarising a long contract, extracting amounts and dates, comparing two clauses, or producing a structured table from a long document. Always verify the cited pages before relying on the answer.
Try Chat with PDF →Compress PDF
How to compress a PDF for sharing
Reduce the file size of a PDF before emailing it, sharing it through a chat app or uploading it to a portal. The compression tool offers several levels so you can balance file size against image quality — start with the recommended setting and step up to stronger compression only if needed. Runs locally, so the source PDF is not uploaded. Best results come from documents where images dominate the size; text-only PDFs are usually already small.
Try Compress PDF →Compare PDFs
How to compare two PDF versions
When you have two versions of a document and need to know what changed, the compare tool renders each page of both PDFs and computes a pixel-level diff. The on-screen summary lists every page that differs and the percentage of change, and the downloadable report highlights the differences in red. Useful for reviewing redlines, spotting a bad save, or auditing changes between revisions.

- 01Can I convert a PDF to JPG without uploading it?
- Yes. The PDF to images tool renders each page in the browser and packages the results in a ZIP. The source PDF is not sent to a conversion server. You can pick JPG for small file size or PNG when you need lossless rendering, and choose a quality level appropriate to your use.
- 02Do I lose quality when converting PDF to image?
- You can choose. The standard quality is a good balance for most uses, including social posts and previews. For print or design work, pick the high or very high option, which produces a larger file with no visible artefacts. The original PDF is not changed — you can re-export at a different quality any time.
- 03What is the difference between PDF to text and OCR?
- PDF to text reads the selectable text layer that exists in digitally generated PDFs. OCR runs on image-only pages (scans) and recognises the text from the pixels. If you are not sure which one to use, open the PDF in any viewer and try to select a word with the mouse — if you can highlight it, use PDF to text; if you cannot, run OCR.
- 04Can I extract text from a scanned PDF?
- Yes, by running OCR first. OCR adds a text layer to the scanned pages, which PDF to text (and any other tool that relies on text selection, including search) can then read. The OCR tool runs entirely in the browser with Tesseract.js.
- 05How do I reduce a PDF file size without losing too much quality?
- Start with the recommended compression level. If the result is still too large, try the stronger level — image quality will drop a little, but text stays sharp. For scanned documents, the biggest win usually comes from re-OCRing at a lower DPI rather than re-compressing.
- 06Is the chat tool different from the other tools on this page?
- Yes. The other six operations on this page run entirely in your browser. The chat tool reads the text locally and sends the necessary text plus your question to an AI service. The binary PDF is not transmitted, but the extracted text of the relevant pages is. Review the AI provider's data policy if that matters for your document.
