Frequently asked questions
How much of the layout is preserved?
Text, paragraphs, headings, bold and italic are kept. Columns, tables, images, headers and footers are not recreated, so complex layouts may need tidying in Word.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Not directly. A scan is a picture of text. Run OCR PDF first to make it searchable, then convert the result.
Which programs open the result?
The result is a standard .docx file intended for Word, LibreOffice and similar apps.
Are my files uploaded to your server?
No. This tool runs in your browser using JavaScript that is served from this website. Your file is read on your own device and the result is created there too. File contents are not sent to this website.
Results may differ slightly from the original file. Always check the output before using it.
