Frequently Asked Questions

Is my PDF file uploaded to a server?
Never. Everything runs entirely in your browser using PDF.js (Mozilla) for reading the PDF and docx.js for building the Word file. Your file never leaves your device — not even a single byte.
Why does my converted Word doc look different from the PDF?
PDF is a fixed-layout format — it stores visual positions on a page, not logical document structure. Converting it back to a flowing Word document requires reconstructing structure from those positions. Text-heavy PDFs convert very well; complex multi-column layouts and image-heavy PDFs may need manual editing after conversion.
My PDF shows blank or empty text in the output. Why?
This usually means the PDF is scanned — each page is just a photo, not actual selectable text. Scanned PDFs require OCR (optical character recognition) to extract text, which is not available in browser-based tools due to processing limitations. Try Adobe Acrobat or a dedicated OCR service for scanned documents.
Are images from the PDF included in the Word file?
Currently no — embedded images from PDFs are not extracted and included in the .docx output. Only text content is converted. Image extraction support is planned for a future update.
What does "heading detection" mean?
When enabled, the converter analyzes font sizes across all pages to establish a baseline body text size. Lines rendered with significantly larger fonts (typically 1.4×–2.0× the median) are tagged as Heading 1, 2, or 3 in the Word document — so they appear properly in Word's navigation panel and table of contents.
