Good to know

  • The text is rebuilt as a fresh document — complex layouts, columns, artwork and embedded images are not fully preserved.
  • Scanned PDFs have no text to extract; run them through OCR first.
  • Free account required — no card, no trial, no watermarks added by us.

Questions

Will the layout look identical?

No. The tool rebuilds the text content, not the exact visual layout. For an exact visual copy, convert pages to images instead.

My PDF is a scan — what do I do?

Use the OCR tool to read the text from the scanned pages, then export to Word.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Your file is processed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to a server.
