Frequently Asked Questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The PDF is read with pdf.js and the Word file is built with docx.js — both run entirely in your browser. Your document never leaves your device.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

No. Scanned PDFs are images with no selectable text. Use the Image to Text (OCR) tool first, then paste the recognised text into Word.

Is the resulting Word file editable?

Yes. You get a standard .docx you can open and edit in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice Writer.

What formatting is preserved?

Paragraphs, line grouping, and larger heading text are kept as editable Word paragraphs and headings. Exact fonts, columns, images, and complex layouts are simplified.

Why does the Word file look different from the PDF?

PDFs store absolute positions rather than document structure, so the converter rebuilds a flowing, editable document instead of copying the exact page layout.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no hard limit, but very large PDFs use more memory since everything is processed locally in your browser.
