What is kept from the original PDF?

All the text, organized into paragraphs that reflow when you edit, plus headings (detected by font size), bulleted and numbered lists, bold, italics, centered text and page breaks. Images and exact column layouts are not transferred.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Not directly: a scanned PDF contains images, not text. The tool detects it and suggests running “OCR PDF” first.

What does “Keep the PDF line breaks” do?

By default lines are joined into paragraphs, which is what you want for running text. Turn the option on for poems, addresses or lists where every line matters.

Can I convert a password-protected PDF?

If the PDF asks for a password to open, remove it first (you need to know it).

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Everything is processed inside your browser and your files never leave your device. There is no upload, no queue and no temporary storage, so the tool keeps working even if you go offline after the page has loaded.

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. The site is funded by a few unobtrusive ads around the tools, never inside your files.
