If you need records that stay readable for decades, PDF/A is the format. GekiPDF's pdf-to-pdfa tool converts your file to PDF/A-2b, embedding all fonts and adding an output intent so colours display correctly on any device. Encryption is removed because PDF/A forbids it, which keeps files openable by future software.
Upload a file up to 50 MB and get a converted copy in about a minute. You can do 40 conversions per hour per IP address, and we delete every file after one hour. No account, no watermark, just a download link when it's done.
Frequently asked questions
What does PDF/A-2b include?
It embeds fonts and adds an output intent, so text stays legible and colours are reproducible. It also removes encryption, which means the file remains accessible without passwords.
Will my original file be changed?
No. You upload a PDF, we create a new PDF/A-2b version. Your original stays untouched on your device until you decide to replace it.
Can I convert a scanned document?
Yes, but the scan must already have text (OCR) or be image-based. The converter preserves images; if you need searchable text, use ocr-pdf first.
