Will formatting be preserved?

Text content and reading order are preserved with page separators. Complex layouts, tables and images become plain text, so some reformatting in Word may be needed for design-heavy PDFs.

What about scanned PDFs?

Scanned or image-based PDFs have no selectable text. Use the free OCR tool first to recognise the text, then copy the result into Word.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. Extraction happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never sent to any server.

Can I convert multi-page PDFs?

Yes. All pages are processed automatically with page separators, no matter how long the document is.
