Rebuild an image-only archival PDF targeting PDF/A-2b, with embedded sRGB color information and XMP metadata.
Use the guide alongside the working tool.
Open PDF/A Converter →Prepare and review
Open a supported file or choose Try sample.
Choose options, prepare the result and review the actual document or report.
Download only after reviewing the result; keep your original file.
What this tool supports
Up to 50 pages. All pages become images, removing searchable text, forms, links, outlines, attachments and original metadata. Output targets PDF/A-2b with an embedded ICC profile and synchronized XMP. Browser preflight is limited; use a full standards validator such as veraPDF or your receiving archive before regulated submission. This is not PDF/A-1, PDF/A-3 or PDF/UA conversion.
Private processing
Processing stays in this browser. No input files, fonts or reports are uploaded. Engines download from this website on first use; no external document links are fetched. PDFs up to 20 MB / 200 pages unless a stricter limit is stated; output up to 80 MB. Close or clear the editor to discard the local draft.
