Common questions

Will the layout stay exactly the same?

Text, headings and paragraph order carry across reliably. Complex multi-column layouts and heavily designed pages may need light tidying once opened in Word.

Can I convert a scanned PDF?

A scan is an image, so run it through OCR PDF first to add a text layer. Converting after that produces editable text rather than a picture.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

This tool runs entirely inside your browser. Your file is never uploaded to a server, so nothing leaves your device.
