For students and teachers

School portals set their own rules: an upload limit chosen by the school, and often a list of accepted file types that leaves out .heic. That is how a photo of a worksheet taken on an iPhone ends up rejected the night it is due. The usual fix is two steps: convert the photos to JPG or straight to one PDF, and keep that PDF under the portal's limit. All three tools here run in the browser of a school Chromebook or a phone, with nothing to install.

Teachers can use the same tools in the other direction: compress a scanned handout before posting it, or turn photos of a whiteboard into one PDF for students who were absent.

For nonprofits

Grant portals and funder forms tend to have strict size limits and ask for single PDFs. Receipts, signed forms and site photos usually arrive from volunteers as phone pictures. Photos to PDF and Compress PDF turn those into something a portal accepts, without sending donor or client records through another company's servers.

Why the work happens on your device

Most online converters upload your file, process it on a server and send it back. These pages load the converter into your browser instead, using open-source libraries (pdf-lib, Mozilla's PDF.js and heic2any) served from FileSeen itself. You can check: open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network tab, and convert a file. No request carries it anywhere.

FAQ

File converter questions

Are these converters free?

Yes. No account, no daily limit and no watermark added to your files. The limits that exist come from the memory of your browser, which handles hundreds of photos or a few hundred PDF pages.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Each file is read by the page and converted on your device. Nothing is sent to FileSeen or anywhere else.

Do they work on a Chromebook or a phone?

Yes. They run in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, including on Chromebooks, Android phones and iPhones.

Can I convert a Word or Excel file here?

Not yet. To read one without the app, open it in the document viewer. To keep its layout for sending, save it as a PDF from Word or Excel.

What about protecting a file?

That is a separate set of tools: password-protect a PDF, make an encrypted zip, watermark a PDF or redact it.
