How accurate is PDF to Word conversion?

Text-based PDFs convert well, keeping paragraphs, headings, and most layout editable in Word. Complex multi-column layouts and scanned (image-only) PDFs are harder to reflow — the result is a best-effort editable approximation rather than a perfect copy.

Will scanned PDFs become editable text?

Not reliably. A scanned PDF is an image of text, so the converter cannot extract clean, editable words from it. This tool works best on PDFs that already contain real text.

Is my document kept private?

Yes. Your PDF and the converted Word document are automatically deleted from our servers within 60 minutes of processing. We never store, sell, or analyse your content.
