File Converter

In development

File Converter is a cloud-based document converter for iPhone and iPad, currently in development. It focuses on AI-assisted layout reconstruction so real PDFs become editable Word documents and layout-faithful PowerPoint decks.

Who it's for

It is for people who receive PDFs they can't edit: analysts pulling tables out of reports, assistants rebuilding slide decks from exported PDFs, and anyone who has tried to copy text out of a multi-column page and given up. These are documents with formulas baked into images, odd fonts, and scanned-looking pages, not clean exports.

Why

Most converters assume a clean, digital PDF, but the documents people actually need to edit are messy. This one is built around AI-assisted layout reconstruction so the output keeps the structure of the original. Processing happens in the cloud because converting a long document shouldn't tie up your phone.

What it will do

  • PDF to Word Editable text with the original layout reconstructed, so you can work in the document instead of retyping it.
  • PDF to PowerPoint Slides that keep the deck's layout, ready to edit rather than rebuild from scratch.
  • AI layout reconstruction Handles multi-column pages and formulas that exist only as images, keeping their place in the document.
  • Cloud processing Long conversions run in the cloud, so your phone never heats up or drains its battery waiting.
  • Tested on real PDFs Built against real public documents with nonstandard fonts and scanned-looking layouts, not just clean exports.
