Convert One Format To Another
Making PDFs Mobile-Friendly with Convertio
Many people find themselves downloading PDF documents on their phones, whether it be lead magnets, e-books, or other digital content. However, PDFs are notoriously not mobile-friendly, often requiring users to pinch and zoom to read the text. This can be a frustrating experience, particularly on smaller screens. In this article, we’ll discuss how to use Convertio to convert PDFs into a more readable format for mobile devices.
The Problem with PDFs on Mobile Devices
When you download a PDF on your phone, the text is often too small to read comfortably. You might find yourself pinching, zooming, and flipping your phone to try and make the content readable. This can be a cumbersome process, especially if you prefer reading on your phone.
The Solution: Convertio Using Kindle for Mobile Reading
If you use Kindle on your phone, you might have tried saving PDFs to Kindle. While this allows you to access the PDF, it doesn’t solve the issue of text size. Instead, converting the PDF to a more mobile-friendly format is a better solution.
Converting PDFs to ePub Format
Convertio is a handy tool for converting PDFs into ePub format, which is much more readable on mobile devices. Here’s how to do it:
- Choose Your File: Open Convertio and select the PDF file you want to convert.
- Select the Output Format: In the drop-down menu, choose “ePub” as the output format. Avoid using the Amazon format (azw3) as it can be unreliable.
- Convert the File: Click the “Convert” button. Convertio will upload your file and convert it to ePub format.
- Download the ePub File: Once the conversion is complete, a download link will appear. Click the link to download the ePub file to your device.
The ePub format adjusts the font size and preserves the format, making it much easier to read on a mobile device. Although the page numbers might not always align perfectly, the document will be readable without needing to zoom in and out.
Conclusion
Convertio is a valuable tool for anyone who frequently reads PDFs on their mobile device. By converting PDFs to ePub format, you can enjoy a more comfortable reading experience on your Kindle app or other e-book readers.
