Frequently Asked Questions
Will my layout stay the same in Word?
▾
Simple layouts convert near-perfectly. Complex multi-column designs may need small touch-ups once in Word.
Can I convert scanned PDFs?
▾
Run our OCR tool first to create a text layer, then convert to Word. Without OCR, you will get images instead of editable text.
Are fonts preserved?
▾
Yes, when the fonts are available on your system. Unknown fonts fall back to the closest match.
Are my files private?
▾
Files are processed on EU servers (Germany) and deleted automatically after 30 minutes. We never share your documents.
Is the converter free?
▾
Yes. No registration, no subscription, no watermarks on the output.
Will tables be editable?
▾
Yes. Tables are reconstructed as real Word tables, not images, so you can edit cells directly.
Does it work on mobile?
▾
Yes. Any modern browser on iOS or Android.
