Will the layout be preserved exactly?

Text content converts reliably, but complex multi-column layouts, tables and precise positioning often shift. Expect to do some reformatting on design-heavy documents.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

No. A scan is an image with no text layer, so there is nothing to extract. That requires OCR, which this tool does not perform.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Every conversion runs inside your own browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, which means there is nothing for us to store, read, or leak.

How do you convert a PDF into an editable Word document?

To convert a PDF to Word, upload it and the text is extracted page by page into an editable .docx file for Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. Plain text converts reliably; multi-column layouts and tables usually shift. A scanned PDF has no text layer and needs OCR instead.
