What this tool does
The layout is reconstructed: paragraphs, styles, tables and images come back as editable content rather than pictures pasted on a page. A scanned PDF, or one whose text comes out unreadable, has to go through OCR first.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the result genuinely editable?
- Yes: paragraphs, styles, tables and images are rebuilt instead of sitting on the page as pictures. Complex layouts (tight columns, floating boxes) still need a read-through.
- My PDF is a scan, or its text comes out as strange characters: what do I do?
- A scan holds no text, only a photograph of the page. Some PDFs do hold text, but in fonts that do not say which letters they draw. When the whole document is like that, the conversion says so rather than returning pictures or gibberish. Run it through OCR first, ticking “Re-run OCR even if text already exists” if it already has text, then convert: the Word file holds the recognised text, page by page, without the original layout.
- What happens to my file after the conversion?
- This tool needs software that does not run in a browser: the file is sent encrypted, converted, then erased automatically after two hours. This page says so before you drop anything.
