Best Free Document Converters for PDF, DOCX, XLSX, TIF, WPS and More![br][br][br]A document converter is a type of file converter that changes one kind of document file format, such as PDF, XLSX, DOCX, TIF, or TXT, into another type. If you're unable to open or edit a document because you don't have a program that supports it, free document converters can help.[br][br]Every document converter program listed below is freeware.
