You need to edit a PDF on your Pixel and the easiest thing is to convert it to a Word doc first. Or you need a JPG of page 3 for a WhatsApp chat. Android has no native PDF-to-anything converter.
Chrome does. Via Flint.
PDF to Word
Flint's converter reads the PDF and outputs a DOCX you can open in Word, Google Docs, or anything that handles .docx. Born-digital PDFs convert beautifully — text, tables, lists. Heavily designed PDFs may need light cleanup but get you 90% of the way.
On Android, the result downloads to your Downloads folder, open in Google Docs or Word for Android.
PDF to images
PDF-to-image converts each page to JPG or PNG. Useful when sending receipts to expense apps that only accept images, or when posting a snippet to social media. The downloaded file appears in your gallery if you save to the Pictures folder.
Images and Word back to PDF
Going the other direction — photo receipts to a single PDF, or Word doc to PDF — works in Flint's converter too. For expense reports, snap the receipts, drop them into the converter, get a tidy multi-page PDF. Then merge with your expense form.
FAQ
Does conversion preserve formatting?
For text, tables, and basic layouts: yes. Complex multi-column or graphics-heavy PDFs may shift slightly. Result is usually 95% there and much faster to clean up than retyping.
Can I convert scanned PDFs to Word?
Scans are images, so conversion requires OCR (text recognition). Flint handles this but quality depends on the source — clean, high-contrast scans give cleaner results than crumpled or low-light shots.
Is there a Google Drive integration?
Not direct — save the PDF from Drive to your phone first, then upload to Flint. After conversion, upload the result back to Drive. Two manual steps, but no API auth involved.
Convert without installing Acrobat or another paid app. Open Chrome and get on with it.
