CleverPDF: Start Converting Your PDFs Today!

Free!

CleverPDF is a file conversion tool that allows users to convert and modify PDF documents and other file types for free. To begin, users must launch the website and choose a type of conversion (e.g., PDF to Word, PDF to Excel, PDF to PPTX, Word to PDF, Excel to PDF, etc.) or modification (e.g., reorder pages in a PDF, add a watermark to a PDF, split a PDF, etc.). (The website also allows other conversions, such as changing the file type of images. Users are encouraged to review the full menu of options the website provides.) The website will then load a screen that allows users to upload the PDF or document they wish to convert to a PDF. After uploading, the website requires users to click the “Start Conversion” button that will appear. The website will then process the request. After processing, a new screen will appear that allows users to download the converted document to their computer.

Instructional Ideas for CleverPDF

1. When receiving a PDF that needs modification or feedback, teachers can convert it to a Word document using this website, make the modifications, and then convert the Word document back to a PDF.  
2. When brainstorming an idea using a “working document,” teachers can convert that document to a PDF that includes a “draft” watermark in the background, to ensure that other readers/users of the document will understand it is a draft and not a final copy.
3. If teachers wish to access images embedded within a PDF, they can choose the “Extract Images” and then upload the PDF to this website. The website will “rip” the images from the PDF that the teacher can then download.
4. If teachers need to convert an image from one file type to another type, they can choose the “Image Converter” option and select the file type of the image they need. The website will then convert the images.
