Tips for Phone Conversion

Where to find the .docx file on your phone

• Email attachment: Tap and hold the attachment, choose "Save to Files" (iPhone) or download it (Android), then upload from your file manager.
• WhatsApp / Telegram: The document auto-downloads to your phone. Check your Downloads folder.
• Cloud storage: The file picker lets you browse Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, and OneDrive directly.

Sharing the PDF after conversion

On iPhone, open the PDF in Files and tap the Share icon. On Android, open the PDF in your file manager and tap Share. You can email it, message it, AirDrop it, or upload it to any app.

If the conversion is slow

Large documents with many images take more memory. If your phone struggles, try closing other browser tabs to free up memory. Documents under 20 pages with a few images convert in seconds on most phones.
