💡 FAQ


Why is my shared content converted?

By default, Showell shares your content as the converted file type to provide the best user experience. This conversion also adds an extra layer of protection, making it difficult for others to edit the shared content. For instance, if you upload a Word file, it will be automatically converted to a PDF file before sharing. To learn more about how Showell handles files, click here.
