Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Everything is processed inside your browser. Your files never leave your device.

Why is my scanned PDF empty?

Scanned PDFs are pictures of pages and have no text layer. This tool works with PDFs that contain real text.

Is the formatting kept?

Text and paragraphs are kept. Fonts, columns and images are not, so you may need to tidy the layout in Word.
