Convert a File

Use the form below to submit an automated conversion of your file, text, or URL into another format such as an MP3, word document, e-book, braille, or accessible tagged PDF.

Note: automated conversions are not as good as those done by an actual person. Learn more about creating accessible documents or take an accessible document training.

While these conversions may not be fully accessible, they can often improve the existing material and bring it closer to a useful document.
