Drop a file on the home page. Pick a format from the dropdown. Hit Convert. Download. The three-step loop is the whole product.
PDF, DOCX, TXT, HTML for documents. JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, WebP for images. OCR extracts text from images and PDFs. Full list on /formats.
Check the file is under 20 MB and in a supported format. Refresh the page and try again. If it still fails, try a different browser — extensions occasionally block uploads.
Common causes: the source file is corrupted, password-protected, or in a subformat we don't handle yet (e.g. PDF with embedded forms). Try another file, and if it's reproducible, email bugs@formatly.app.
Most finish in seconds. OCR on a long PDF can take a minute. If you've been waiting longer than two minutes, something failed silently — reload the page and try again.
Right-click the Download button and pick "Save link as." If nothing happens on click, check for a browser pop-up blocker or a privacy extension intercepting download requests.
Converting from a lower-fidelity source won't magically improve it. For PDFs, a scanned PDF may look fuzzy in DOCX — try OCR first to pull the text.
Any current Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge works. Try clearing the cache or a private window if something's off.
