Millions of users each month turn to online PDF tools for quick, one-time conversions, especially when software installation isn’t an option. That’s why Nitro offers a fast, free, browser-based PDF converter that’s as easy as dragging and dropping your file.
But converting is just the beginning. If you’re looking to go beyond basic conversion—editing text, extracting data, merging files, or securing sensitive documents—Nitro also offers a 14-day free trial of its full PDF solution. No credit card required. Just powerful, professional-grade tools to take full control of your PDFs.
Get started with Nitro’s free PDF converter
Nitro’s free converter tools are built for simplicity. Whether you’re working with documents at home, school, or in a business setting, you can convert PDFs to and from eight popular formats directly in your browser. No downloads, no login, no watermarks.
Available free converters include:
Each tool works the same way: just drag and drop your file into the browser window, and Nitro will do the rest. You’ll get a high-quality converted file you can open and work with instantly—preserving the formatting, layout, and content of your original document.
These tools are ideal for one-time tasks, quick fixes, or on-the-go use when you need speed and simplicity.
What makes Nitro’s free converter different?
Many “free” converters come with trade-offs: file size limits, low-quality outputs, or hidden paywalls. Nitro’s in-browser tools are truly free to use, and they’re backed by years of experience in PDF innovation and document accuracy.
You won’t find confusing upsells mid-process or watermarked results. Instead, you’ll get fast, accurate conversions using the same file engine that powers Nitro PDF Pro, the trusted desktop software used by over 3 million businesses and professionals worldwide.
If you only need to convert a PDF every once in a while, this may be all you need. But if your work involves editing, organizing, or signing PDFs regularly, Nitro’s free trial unlocks a lot more.

Compare free conversion vs. full-featured access
The difference between Nitro’s free converter and the full trial experience comes down to how much control you want over your documents.

And with powerful AI features like Document Assistant, you can even extract summaries, answer document-specific questions, and streamline your workflow using natural language prompts, available instantly during your free trial.
