Frequently asked questions

Will the Word document look exactly like the PDF?

The conversion preserves text, tables, and images with high fidelity. However, complex multi-column layouts, custom fonts, and precise positioning may shift slightly because PDF and Word use fundamentally different layout models.

Can I convert scanned PDF documents?

This tool works with text-based (digitally created) PDFs. Scanned PDFs are essentially images and require OCR (optical character recognition) software to extract editable text.

Is there a page limit?

No page limit. The file size limit is 50 MB. Large documents with many images may take slightly longer to process.

What is the main difference between PDF and Word?

PDF has a fixed layout that looks identical everywhere. Word is fully editable, making it ideal for collaboration and further document editing.
