Does the tool preserve the original PDF layout?

Partially. The tool preserves text with font styles (bold, italic), detects headings by font size, extracts embedded raster images, and maintains page breaks. However, multi-column layouts, complex tables, and vector graphics are not fully preserved. For documents with complex layouts, desktop tools like LibreOffice or Adobe Acrobat produce better results.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens in your browser using PDF.js for parsing and the docx library for generating the Word file. Your PDF file never leaves your device. There is no server-side storage, no upload, and no logging of file contents.

Can I convert a scanned PDF?

Not directly. Scanned PDFs contain images of text rather than actual text data, so there is nothing for the text extraction to find. Run the PDF through the OCR tool first to generate a text layer, then convert the OCR'd result to DOCX using this tool.

How long does conversion take?

A typical 10-page text-based PDF converts in 3 to 5 seconds on a modern laptop. A 200-page document takes about 40 to 60 seconds. Processing time depends on the number of pages, the amount of text, and how many images the PDF contains. Images add significant processing time because each one is extracted and converted to PNG.

Can I convert password-protected PDFs?

Yes. If the PDF is encrypted, the tool prompts you for the password. Enter it and click Convert again. The password is used locally to decrypt the PDF in your browser and is never sent anywhere.

What about tables in the PDF?

Tables are not preserved as Word tables. The tool extracts text line by line, so table content appears as plain text paragraphs. Cell boundaries and formatting are lost. If table preservation is important, Adobe Acrobat Pro or LibreOffice handle tables better because they have access to the full PDF layout engine.

Yes. The converter is completely free with no account required. There are no watermarks, no daily limits, and no hidden upsells. All processing runs in your browser, so there are no server costs to pass on to users.
