FAQ
Will the formatting stay the same?
Simple, text-based layouts convert cleanly. Very complex designs (heavy columns, scanned images) may shift — for scanned PDFs, run OCR first.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens in your browser, so the document never leaves your computer.
Is it really free?
Yes — free, no signup, and no watermark on the output.
