PDF to Word

No, and this is the part every other converter gets wrong. PDF to Word is normally done on a server, which means handing over the document — a contract, a payslip, a medical letter. Here the text is read and the Word file is built in your browser on your device. You can watch the network panel stay empty while it happens.

Paragraphs, headings, bold and italic text, and bulleted and numbered lists. Headings and lists are real Word styles, not characters typed to look like them, so you can keep editing and the numbering continues properly.

Tables, images, exact fonts, colours and precise page layout. A PDF does not record any of those as structure — it records glyphs at coordinates — so a converter either infers them or invents them. We would rather tell you what you are getting. If the layout matters more than the text, keep the PDF.

By size, measured against the rest of your document rather than against a fixed number of points. The size that covers the most text is treated as body copy, and anything meaningfully larger becomes a heading, so a document set in 10pt and one set in 14pt both come out sensibly.

Text in two columns is stored as two blocks side by side, with nothing in the file saying they are columns. Read top to bottom, a line of the left column is followed by a line of the right. We look for the gutter between columns and tell you which pages have one, rather than quietly handing you shuffled text.

A scan is a picture of a page, so there is no text in it to convert. Run OCR PDF over it first — that adds a text layer — then convert the result.

Not yet. It is on the roadmap, and it will say plainly what it does and does not reproduce, the same way this page does.
