Things people ask before installing.
Honest answers — including where we say no. If something here doesn't answer your question, email actuallyusefulextensions@gmail.com.
Is Convert: Anything to PDF really free?
Yes. No watermarks, no file size limits, no premium tier, no account required. The extension is funded by us, not by ads or your data.
What file formats can I convert?
Images (JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG, GIF, BMP), text files (TXT, HTML, JSON, XML, Markdown), spreadsheets (CSV), and any active web page. See the full format breakdown above for scenarios and concrete use cases.
Can I convert Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheets directly?
Not directly. Export your spreadsheet to CSV first (in Excel: File → Save As → CSV; in Google Sheets: File → Download → Comma-separated values), then drop the CSV into the extension. CSVs with 6+ columns auto-detect as wide and switch to landscape orientation.
Can I merge multiple files into one PDF?
Yes. Drag in any number of files (mixed formats are fine — e.g. 3 images + 1 CSV + 1 Markdown file) and they'll be combined into a single PDF in the order you list them. There's no merge limit.
Is there a file size limit?
No. Because conversion happens entirely on your device, the only practical limit is your computer's available memory. We've tested with multi-hundred-page PDFs and large image batches without issue.
Are watermarks added to the output PDF?
No. Ever. The PDF you generate is yours, unbranded. The only marks in the output are whatever was in the source file.
Will my files be uploaded anywhere?
No. The extension makes zero network requests during file conversion — everything runs locally in your browser using bundled libraries (jsPDF for files, Chrome's DevTools Protocol for web pages). Your files never touch any server.
Does it preserve image quality?
Yes. Image conversion preserves the source resolution; PDFs are generated without quality loss. For 300 DPI scans, the output is print-ready.
Can it handle password-protected source files?
No — encrypted PDFs and password-protected source files can't currently be read. For all other formats (images, text, CSV) encryption isn't relevant. The output PDFs are not password-protected.
What paper sizes are supported?
A4, US Letter, US Legal, and Tabloid. Orientation (portrait / landscape) is selectable per conversion. CSV exports with many columns auto-switch to landscape.
Which browsers does it work on?
Any Chromium-based browser: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera, Vivaldi. Firefox and Safari are not supported because the underlying APIs differ.
How do I uninstall it?
Right-click the extension icon and choose "Remove from Chrome", or visit chrome://extensions and click Remove. The extension stores no persistent data, so there's nothing to clean up after.
Is this the same as "anyfile to PDF" or "any file to PDF"?
Yes — Convert: Anything to PDF is the tool people are usually looking for when they search for "anyfile to PDF" or "any file to PDF". It converts any supported file (JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG, GIF, BMP, TXT, HTML, Markdown, JSON, XML, CSV) plus any open browser tab into a real PDF, all on your device, with no upload, no watermark, and no account.
Is this a free alternative to Adobe Acrobat?
For file-to-PDF conversion and web-to-PDF, yes — Convert: Anything to PDF replaces the parts of Adobe Acrobat most people actually use, at $0 and without an Adobe account. Acrobat still wins for advanced PDF editing (rewriting existing PDF text, form design, digital signatures with certificate chains, enterprise redaction). For conversion workflows, this extension does the job locally, unlimited, with no subscription.
How do I convert HTML to PDF?
Three main options: open the .html file in Chrome and press Ctrl+P > Save as PDF, drop it into Convert: Anything to PDF for batch conversion, or use wkhtmltopdf / Puppeteer / WeasyPrint for automated workflows. The Chrome route is free and takes 5 seconds; the extension handles many files at once and merges them into a single PDF.
How do I save an HTML file as a PDF?
Drag the .html file into a Chrome tab, press Ctrl+P (Cmd+P on Mac), set Destination to Save as PDF, and click Save. To convert several .html files at once, install Convert: Anything to PDF, drag the files into the drop zone, and merge them into one PDF in a single click.
How do I convert an MHTML file to PDF?
Open the .mhtml file in Chrome (drag it into a tab — Chrome opens MHTML natively), then press Ctrl+P and choose Save as PDF. Firefox and Safari don't open MHTML by default. For bulk conversion of many MHTML files, use Convert: Anything to PDF, which batches file drops in one click and preserves embedded images and CSS.
Can I convert code files to PDF with syntax highlighting?
Yes. Convert: Anything to PDF renders source code with syntax highlighting for 100+ languages, keeps indentation and line numbers intact, and paginates long files cleanly. Drop .js, .py, .ts, .go, .rs, .cpp, .java, .html, .css, .sql, .json, .yaml, or any code file into the extension and export.
Does Convert: Anything to PDF support batch conversion?
Yes. Drop multiple files of any supported type into the extension at once and it merges them into a single PDF in your chosen order, or exports each as a separate file. Common uses: combining scanned invoices, batch-converting HTML reports, merging code review documents, or building a portfolio from mixed images and markdown.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Convert: Anything to PDF processes every file locally inside your Chrome browser. Nothing is uploaded, no account is required, and the extension has no analytics or trackers. This matters for confidential documents, work-laptop restrictions, and regulated industries.
