How it works

  1. 1

    Add the PDF. We check whether it has a real text layer.

  2. 2

    Text is extracted with position data; scanned pages go through OCR.

  3. 3

    A .docx is rebuilt with headings, paragraphs, lists and simple tables.

Questions

Will the layout be identical?

No. A PDF stores positioned glyphs, not paragraphs. We rebuild a sensible document structure; heavy layouts will differ.

Does it work on scans?

Yes — OCR runs in your browser. Pick the right language for much better accuracy.
