Is my PDF sent to a server?

No. Your document never leaves your browser. This is important for confidential documents — contracts, financial statements, medical records. 100% private.

What's the best type of PDF to convert to Word?

Text-based PDFs (created from Word, Google Docs, or any digital source) convert with high accuracy. Scanned PDFs are images — they require OCR to extract text, which browser tools can't do.

Can I convert a PDF and then edit in Google Docs?

Yes. Download the DOCX, upload it to Google Drive, and open with Google Docs. Google Docs will automatically open DOCX files for editing.

Why do I lose formatting when converting PDF to Word?

PDF is fixed-layout (coordinates-based). Word is flow-based (style-based). Columns, text boxes, and precision layout cannot perfectly transfer between these fundamentally different formats.

The text in my PDF isn't selectable — can I still convert it?

If you can't select text in the PDF, it's likely a scanned image. Browser-based tools can't extract text from images. You'd need an OCR-enabled converter for those.

No. Convertlo requires zero account, zero email, zero signup. Drop your PDF, convert, download. That's it. There's no upsell, no trial countdown, and no post-conversion email marketing.

No. Your document never leaves your browser. The conversion runs locally using PDF.js. This matters greatly for confidential documents — contracts, financial statements, medical records, and personal information. Nothing is transmitted.

Text-based PDFs — those created digitally from Word, Google Docs, Excel, or any application — convert with high accuracy. Scanned PDFs are photographs of paper, not real text data. Browser tools cannot extract text from scanned images; those require an OCR-enabled tool.

Yes. Download the DOCX file, go to Google Drive, click New → File upload, then open the uploaded DOCX with Google Docs. Google Docs handles DOCX files natively and will open them for editing automatically.

PDF is a fixed-layout format where each element has an exact coordinate position on the page. Word (DOCX) is a flow-based format where text reflows according to styles, fonts, and margins. These are fundamentally different document models — columns, text boxes, and pixel-precise layouts cannot be perfectly reproduced in Word's flow system.

Yes — there's no file size limit. However, very large PDFs (100+ pages) may take longer to process since everything runs in your browser's JavaScript engine rather than on a fast server.

If you can't select text by clicking and dragging in your PDF viewer, the PDF is almost certainly a scanned image. Browser-based converters cannot extract text from image PDFs. For those documents, an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool is required.
