2anything

Use case

The Paper Pusher

For anyone whose documents arrive in one format and need to leave in another. Word to PDF, PDF back to Word, Markdown to EPUB, slides to notes — converted on your Mac, not on someone else's server.

The problem

Same words. Wrong file type.

The client sends a PDF and you need to edit it. Legal wants Word, the wiki wants Markdown, the printer wants PDF, and the old archive is full of .doc files. Every hop is another upload to another website — with contracts, HR letters, and drafts you would rather keep to yourself.

2anything converts documents on your Mac, PDFs included. Scanned pages are run through OCR automatically, so even a photocopy comes back as text you can edit.

Supported formats

What it reads and writes.

Office documents

  • Word .docx (DOCX)
  • OpenDocument .odt (ODT)
  • Rich Text .rtf (RTF)
  • PowerPoint .pptx (PPTX)
  • Legacy Word .doc input only

PDF

  • PDF
  • Scanned PDFs, via automatic OCR

Markup & text

  • Markdown .md
  • HTML
  • Plain text .txt
  • reStructuredText .rst
  • LaTeX .tex

Ebooks

  • EPUB

Every format here converts to every other, with three exceptions: PDFs convert to every format except PPTX, legacy .doc files convert to PDF only, and PowerPoint input brings over slide titles and text.

Example workflows

Three conversions that used to need a website.

PDF → DOCX

  1. Drop the contract PDF into 2anything.

  3. Convert and edit it in Word or Pages — scanned pages are OCR'd for you.

Markdown → EPUB

  1. Drop your manuscript.md.
  2. Choose EPUB.
  3. Convert and open it on any e-reader.

PPTX → Markdown

  1. Drop last quarter's deck.

  3. Convert to get every slide's title and text as plain notes.
