Questions
Frequently asked
What is an ODT file?
ODT (OpenDocument Text) is an open file format for word processing documents, used by LibreOffice and OpenOffice and supported by Word and Google Docs.
Is there a page limit?
PDFs of up to 200 pages can be converted at once. Split longer files first, then convert each part.
Can I convert a scanned PDF?
Yes. Choose Convert with OCR and the words in your scan are recognized before the ODT is built, so Writer opens real text, not page images.

Usually just a few seconds. Very large files can take a little longer.
Is PDF to ODT free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up and no watermarks added to your files.
