SciConvert Pro includes 17+ tools across 4 categories: Document Converters (PDF to Word, Word to PDF, PDF to PowerPoint, PowerPoint to PDF, LaTeX to Word, Markdown to Doc, EPUB to PDF), Image Tools (Image Format Converter, DPI Changer for journal figures), Citation Tools (Reference Extractor, BibTeX/RIS/EndNote Converter, DOI to BibTeX), and Data Tools (PDF to Text, PDF Analyzer, CSV/JSON/XML Converter, Excel to LaTeX Table).
Our PDF to Word converter uses the same Adobe PDF Services engine that powers Adobe Acrobat. It handles two-column layouts, equations, tables, and figures from journals like IEEE, ACM, Nature, Science, and Elsevier with excellent accuracy. Complex LaTeX math may require minor manual touch-up.
Many tools (BibTeX converter, CSV/JSON/XML, Excel to LaTeX, Markdown, DOI lookup) run entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Document conversions (PDF to Word, etc.) are processed via secure server-side APIs with encryption in transit. Files are automatically deleted after conversion.
Most scientific journals require 300 DPI for photographs and 600 DPI for line art/graphs. Common required formats are TIFF (preferred), PNG, or EPS. Our DPI Changer tool lets you set exact DPI values and convert between formats in one step. Perfect for journal figure submission.
Enter any DOI (e.g., 10.1038/nature12373) and we'll fetch the complete citation metadata from CrossRef's open database. The tool generates properly formatted BibTeX entries you can paste directly into your .bib file. You can look up multiple DOIs at once, one per line.
Yes! All tools are completely free to use. SciConvert Pro is supported by minimal advertising. There are no daily conversion limits for client-side tools. Server-side conversions (PDF to Word, etc.) are subject to fair-use limits to ensure service quality for all users.
We keep all 17+ tools completely free. If SciConvert Pro saves you time, help us grow by sharing it with your colleagues.
Built by researchers, for researchers. We got tired of bad tools, so we made better ones.
SciConvert Pro started in a Stanford research lab in late 2025. We are a group of scientists across computational biology, genomics, and protein engineering. And we all had the same problem: every time we needed to convert a PDF paper into Word, reformat citations, or fix figure DPI for journal submissions, the existing tools either cost too much or did a terrible job on scientific documents.
Two-column layouts from IEEE papers would come out mangled. Inline equations disappeared. BibTeX entries had missing fields. And do not even get us started on figure DPI requirements for Nature and Science journals. We spent hours fixing things that should have taken minutes.
So we built SciConvert Pro. It started as an internal tool, just a quick script we passed around on Slack. But it grew into something much bigger. We now have 17+ free tools covering document conversion, image processing, citation management, and data formatting. Everything a researcher needs in one place.
Our guiding principle is simple: if we need it in our own research, we build it here. We keep it free because we know what it is like to be a grad student on a tight budget. If a tool costs $20 per month, most students will just struggle through the manual way. That should not be necessary.
We run entirely on client-side processing when possible. Your files never touch our servers for most tools. For the heavy conversions like PDF to Word, we use enterprise-grade APIs and delete your files right after processing. No data stored, no tracking, no nonsense.
SciConvert Pro is used by researchers and students from universities around the world. We are a small team, but we ship fast and we listen to feedback. If you have an idea for a tool or find a bug, just reach out. We actually read every message.
Most tools run in your browser. Nothing uploaded, nothing stored. Your research stays yours.
Designed around the actual file formats, layouts, and workflows that researchers deal with daily.
We believe research tools should be accessible to everyone, not locked behind paywalls.
Step-by-step instructions for every tool on SciConvert Pro. All tools are free, require no signup, and most run entirely in your browser so your files never leave your computer.
Convert scientific papers, journal articles, and research PDFs into editable Word (DOCX) documents. This tool uses the Adobe PDF Services API on our server and preserves complex layouts, tables, equations, and figures.
Best for: editing journal articles, reformatting manuscripts for different publishers, extracting content from published papers.
Try PDF to WordTurn your Word documents into clean, professional PDFs ready for journal submission or sharing with collaborators.
Best for: creating submission-ready PDFs from manuscript drafts, converting supplementary materials, sharing formatted documents.
Try Word to PDFExtract the raw text content from any PDF. This is useful for running text analysis, copying specific sections, or feeding content into other tools.
Best for: text mining research papers, extracting abstracts or methods sections, copying content for literature reviews.
Try PDF to TextConvert PDF slides, posters, and figures into editable PowerPoint (PPTX) presentations. Great for reusing content from conference posters and published slide decks.
Best for: converting poster PDFs to editable slides, adapting published figures for lab meetings, reusing conference material.
Try PDF to PowerPointConvert your PowerPoint presentations to PDF for sharing, submission, or archival. Maintains slide layouts and embedded images.
Best for: archiving presentations, sharing slides with people who do not have PowerPoint installed, creating print-ready handouts.
Try PowerPoint to PDFConvert EPUB e-books and open-access textbooks into PDF format for easier reading, printing, or annotation.
Best for: converting open-access textbooks for offline reading, preparing printable copies of reference books, annotating e-books in PDF readers like Adobe or Zotero.
Try EPUB to PDFConvert LaTeX (.tex) source files into Word documents. Useful when a journal or collaborator requires a Word submission instead of LaTeX.
Tip: For best results, keep your LaTeX as clean as possible. Custom macros or very complex TikZ diagrams may need manual adjustment after conversion.
Try LaTeX to WordConvert Markdown files into Word documents. Perfect for researchers who write in Markdown (in tools like Obsidian, Notion, or Jupyter) and need a formatted Word file.
Best for: converting Jupyter notebook exports, README files, or lab notes written in Markdown into Word format for sharing with non-technical collaborators.
Try Markdown to WordConvert images between PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF formats. Journals and publishers often require figures in specific formats such as TIFF or high-quality JPEG.

Try Image DPI ChangerExtract the reference list from a research paper PDF. The tool identifies numbered or formatted citations and outputs them as plain text you can import into your reference manager.
