FAQs

Which files are accepted?

PDF files only. Single file uploads up to 20 MB.

What output will I get?

A .docx file that can be opened in Microsoft Word, Google Docs and other editors.

Will the converted document look exactly like the PDF?

If you choose the With formatting (layout) option, each PDF page is embedded as an image to preserve appearance. For editable text, use Simple, which focuses on selectable, editable content but may not perfectly recreate complex layouts.

Are fonts preserved?

Exact font embedding into .docx can be complex. Layout mode preserves visual fidelity by embedding page images. Simple mode extracts text and relies on system fonts.

Do tables convert accurately?

Basic tables are translated into text or simple structures, but very complex table layouts may require manual adjustment after conversion.

What about password-protected PDFs?

The tool will not open encrypted PDFs without the password. Provide the password to unlock the file in a compatible viewer first.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Files are processed locally in your browser and are not transferred externally.

Conversion failed — what should I do?

Try switching the output style, reducing the page range, or splitting large PDFs. If problems persist, a specialized service may be necessary for very complex documents.
