Will the layout be preserved?
The converter keeps text, headings, tables and images as close to the original PDF layout as possible, so you start editing with minimal reformatting.
Can it handle scanned PDFs?
Text-based PDFs convert best. Scanned pages (images) depend on the clarity of the original scan.
Can I edit the text after converting?
Yes. The output is a fully editable Word file, so you can edit it in Microsoft Word or Google Docs freely.
What format is the output, DOC or DOCX?
You get a modern Word file (DOCX) that opens in all recent versions of Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice.
How long does PDF to Word conversion take?
A few seconds for most documents; large or complex files may take a little longer, but still far faster than retyping by hand.
Is PDF to Word conversion safe for private documents?
Yes. Your file is processed only for the conversion, then deleted automatically from the server shortly after, and never shared.
