FAQ

Should a resume be PDF or DOCX?

PDF is safer for preserving layout. DOCX is better when the employer specifically asks for an editable Word document.

What if the portal asks for an image?

Use PDF to JPG or DOCX to JPG only when the destination explicitly asks for image files.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. The converter supports up to 10 files in one batch when the files use the same input format.

Do I need to install software?

No. You can start from this page, choose the matching converter, and process files online from the browser.
