Free Online File Converters May Install Malware On Your PC – FBI Warning!

Instead of just converting files, these tools secretly install harmful software on your computer. The dangerous part is that this software may look like a real app and seem to work as expected. However, it can steal your personal information, track your activities, or even lock your computer and demand money to unlock it.

There are many file formats available for different purposes. The most common ones are Documents (PDF, DOC), Images (JPG, PNG), Video (MP4, AVI), and Audio (MP3, AAC). With almost everything happening (converting) online, you never know which format you require at a given point in time. And this is where free online file converters come into play. For example, if someone asks you to submit your ID in a PDF format, what would you do? The answer is – Click the photo of the ID using the mobile camera, convert the image (JPG format to PDF) using any online converter, and send the PDF to the person.

Most people do not realize the mess they have gotten into with the above steps. Let me explain-

  1. You have uploaded your ID to an unknown server where it can be misused, causing Identity Theft. You also do not know when the ID image will be deleted from the online converter’s server.
  2. The converted PDF file you have downloaded may consist of a hidden malware that may provide a backdoor access to your PC.
  3. The downloaded file may also contain elements that may lead to a Ransomware attack.

The FBI Denver Field Office has recently issued a warning on its official website asking people to stay alert of the free online file converter scams. Some of you might think that these free online converters are harmless and are doing a free community service. But that is not true! In this article, we have explained what the dangers of online converters are, how they work and what alternatives are available.

FBI Warning

How Do Online File Converters Work?

Free online converters help users convert one file format to another. The process is simple and requires the user to upload a file to the server of the online web tool. The next step is to choose the format to convert and then download the converted file. The process is simple, but here is where the complexity begins. Most free online converter websites embed malware into the converted file. This malware, once downloaded on your PC or mobile device, begins its work of scraping data and sending it to a malicious or threat actor. 

Bonus Tip – Use The Virus Total Website To Identify Malicious Websites.

Navigate to the Virus Total Website.

Choose the URL tab and paste the link of a website you wish to use.

Press the Enter button and examine the report.

For example, we checked a famous converter site – http://convertix-api.xyz/ on Virus Total.

We found the website to be reported as malicious.

Identify Malicious Websites

Other converter websites discovered by our research team include –

Freejpgtopdfconverter.com

Convertallfiles.com

convertisseurs-pdf.com

What Type Of Data Does The Malware Look For?

Hidden malware may not necessarily affect your system’s performance, but it will start accessing your data and transferring it to the hacker or mastermind behind this. Here is a list of data that is at risk –

  • Email addresses.
  • PII or Personal Identifying Information, which includes your Social Security Number, date of birth, and mobile number.
  • Credentials of banking and crypto wallets.
  • Other Usernames and Passwords, including cookies, session tokens, etc, that can help hackers bypass the Multi-Factor Authentication. 

New Methods Of Malware Infiltration By Hackers.

Methods Of Malware Infiltration By Hackers

The FBI Denver has also warned about the different methods of hacking attempted by cyber criminals. Here are a few examples.

  • Online Converter websites may tempt the user to download free software from their website for batch conversions. This software may contain malware.
  • Certain online converter websites recommend that users install a browser extension to make things easier. Many extensions have been found to act as browser hijackers or adware.
  • The converted file requested by the user is injected with malware that steals information from all the PCs it has been downloaded to or sent to. Even worse, the file may infect your PC with Ransomware.
Editor’s Tip – Why Are Offline Converters Better Than Online Converters?

Offline File Converters apps get installed on your PC and can work even if the PC is not connected to the internet. These apps can source any file on your hard drive, external disk, or network drive, complete the conversion process, and save the file on your PC. There is no risk of the file being uploaded anywhere or shared with anyone. Finally, as there is no internet connection required and the conversion process is done on your PC, any risk of malware being downloaded on your PC is nullified.

Alternatives To Risky Online Converters – Use Offline Converters.

The best possible solution to Online File Converters is to use Offline File Converters or apps that can convert files for you on your PC. This way you do not have to upload your confidential files to a random server or download any file from anywhere. We recommend that you use trusted apps or software from well-known developers after reading the reviews and doing a bit of research.

If you ask us then we have done a bit of research with regards to document converters. Most people are looking to convert documents and images to PDF and vice versa. You can do this easily using three alternatives.

1. Use Systweak PDF Editor – Systweak PDF Editor is a new and budget-friendly software that provides all sorts of document conversions. The document conversion functionality in Systweak PDF Editor is both powerful and user-friendly. It supports converting PDF files into popular formats such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and high-resolution images, as well as more specialized formats like HTML, EPUB, SVG, XPS, and text files.

It goes one step further and allows users to extract tables from a PDF to an Excel sheet or just extract images from a PDF to a folder. On the other hand, this app provides over 30 modules for editing a PDF, including digital signature, Password protection, and OCR. The best part is that this app has a user-friendly UI and is cost-effective compared to others.

Systweak PDF editor

  • Edit, Annotate, Print, Protect PDF, And More.
  • Add Images, Notes, Callouts, Bookmarks, Page Numbers, Digital Signature, Etc.
  • Split, Merge, Add, And Delete Pages, Rotate, And Arrange Pages In A PDF
  • Compress, Convert PDF Into Any Format, And Vice Versa.
  • Fix corrupted or damaged PDF files
  • Perform OCR and Create Forms on PDF.

2. Use Microsoft Word – If you have an Office subscription, then you probably will get MS Word along with it. You can use this app to open PDF files and convert documents into PDFs. There are many ways of using this app and you can even convert multiple images to PDF by pasting the images on a DOC and exporting it as a PDF.

Note : If you do not have an Office subscription, then we recommend you purchase a professional PDF software that facilitates conversion of documents both ways.

3. Use Adobe Acrobat – Adobe is the organisation that created the PDFs in the first place. The software is designed to convert PDFs into multiple formats and vice versa. It also gives the ability to edit, annotate, merge, delete pages, etc, from a PDF. However, this app is pretty expensive and can cost approximately $240 for a year’s subscription.

Other Precautions To be Considered

Malware is a dangerous thing that can not only disrupt your work but also your life as well. You must stop using free software and online converters. Also, ensure that your PC is protected by a powerful antivirus software that monitors your PC on a real-time basis. You can choose any one among Norton Antivirus, McAfee, or Systweak Antivirus. 

What To Do If You Feel Your PC Has Been Compromised?

If you have become the victim or feel that your data might have been compromised, then follow this checklist below.

  • Take a deep breath and analyse the situation, making a list of what data could be compromised.
  • Initiate an antivirus scan on your PC to remove any malware. Remember to check if the antivirus app is fully updated.
  • Contact your financial institutions’ toll-free number and ask them to help you out with this.
  • Format your PC if you can or seek help from a computer specialist.
  • Reset any passwords, PINs, and other credentials after you have formatted the PC.
  • Make sure to file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center.

Not long ago, PDF documents were un-editable without having a premium copy of Adobe Reader and this meant that you could not make any changes even if it was a little typo. However, with the advent of online/offline PDF readers, that is no longer the case. One of the edit functions includes adding notes or comments that help users and readers in many ways. There are many ways to add a note to a PDF as explained in this guide. However, today, we will discuss how to edit or delete notes and comments in a PDF.

Before we jump to the methods, we need to understand the types of comments and which apps can edit them.

Add Comment By App                            Type Of Comment                                             Can Be Edited By Other Apps

I Love PDF (online tool) Add text only Can be edited by Systweak PDF Editor, and Adobe Acrobat only
Adobe Acrobat Comment Box Can be edited by Systweak PDF Editor, and Adobe Acrobat only
Systweak PDF Editor Comment Box Can be edited by Systweak PDF Editor, and Adobe Acrobat only


Note : Only PDF editor apps provide a proper comment box or sticky note-type box. The advantage of this box is that only when the user hovers the mouse cursor over the comment box, will the entire comment be highlighted. Online tools do not provide a box but allow users to insert text which means that the comment will be visible at all times.

Extracting images from a PDF can be a handy way to reuse visual content for presentations, reports, or personal projects. Several methods are available, whether you’re looking to grab a specific image from a PDF document or extract all images at once. From using Adobe Acrobat to free online tools or software, extracting images is simple and can be done quickly. In this guide, we’ll explore the most effective ways to extract images from a PDF on different devices, helping you easily access the necessary visuals.

How To Extract Individual Photos From A PDF

There are many ways to extract images from PDFs. We have listed a few methods to help you extract JPG and embedded images from a PDF. However, if you wish to extract several images or all images from a PDF, we suggest you skip to the last section, where you can do so using professional software. These methods are only for those users who want to extract one or a few specific images.

Method 1 – Right-click on The Image

The simplest method to extract photos from PDF is to right-click on the image and choose Copy or Save As from the context menu. It depends on the PDF reader as to what option you will get and what action you must follow next to extract high-quality images from a PDF.

Copy – Click the Copy option and paste the image into a document or image editor app. You can then save the app or document and use the image whenever possible.

Save As – If you get the Save As option, specify a filename and location where you wish to save the image and click the Save button.

Editor’s Note – This option does not appear for images embedded into the PDF and merged as a document.

Method 2 – Take A Screenshot

The next easiest method to extract images in PDF without affecting the resolution if the Copy/Save As options do not appear is to take a screenshot of the image. Here is how to do this.

1. Ensure that the image you want is visible on the screen.
2. Press the Windows key + Prt Scn key on your keyboard.
3. Windows will take a complete screenshot of whatever is visible on your screen and save the image in the Screenshots folder.
4. The default location of the screenshots folder is 

C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Pictures\Screenshots.

Editor’s Note – This is a sure-shot method of extracting embedded images from a PDF. However, you will have to crop and edit those screenshots as they capture the entire screen. It may include portions that you do not need.

Method 3 – Use The Snipping Tool

Moving on to the quest to extract high-quality images from a PDF, we have the Windows Snipping tool. This tool is available for free on the Microsoft Store. All you have to do is open the image you want on your screen in any application and use the Snipping tool to mark the image boundaries, and it will be available on your screen. Right-click the image extracted in the Snipping tool window and select Save As to extract JPG from PDF. You can Copy and paste it into the document you are working on.
