Frequently asked questions

Will images from the PDF be included in the Word file?

The current version extracts text content and paragraph structure. Embedded images are not carried over to the DOCX.

Can I edit the Word document after conversion?

Yes. The output is a standard DOCX file compatible with Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs without a text layer cannot be converted - the tool works on PDFs that contain selectable text.

Is the conversion free?

Yes, completely free with no watermarks or sign-up required.
