Will the formatting be preserved?

Text, paragraph structure and column alignment are preserved. This is text extraction rather than a pixel-faithful rebuild, so exact fonts, precise positioning and embedded images are not carried over — expect to redo styling on a heavily designed document. A scanned PDF has no text layer at all; use the OCR option for those.

Can I convert scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs contain images, not text. You'll need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract the text first. Our OCR feature is available for Pro users.

Need to edit a PDF? Converting to DOCX gives you a fully editable Word document. We extract the text layer and its reading order — paragraphs, headings and column alignment come across, so you can edit the words rather than retype them.
