Frequently Asked Questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No, all processing happens entirely in your browser. Your files are never sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
How good is the conversion quality?
Text-based PDFs are converted with high accuracy. However, scanned or image-based PDFs may have limited text extraction since OCR is not included.
Can I convert PDFs with images?
This tool focuses on text extraction. Images within the PDF are not included in the DOCX output — only the text content is converted.
Can I process large PDF files?
Yes, as long as your browser has sufficient memory. Typically, PDFs up to several tens of MB can be processed without issues.

How It Works
The PDF file is read as an ArrayBuffer via the File API. A JavaScript PDF parsing library (pdf-lib or pdf.js) extracts the text content, font metadata, and positional information from each page. The extracted data is then assembled into the Office Open XML (DOCX) format using a client-side DOCX generation library (such as docx.js). Text blocks are mapped to Word paragraphs with approximate font sizes and styles, and page breaks are preserved. The resulting DOCX file is packaged as a ZIP archive (the standard DOCX container) and offered for download as a Blob.
The entire conversion pipeline — PDF parsing, text extraction, and DOCX assembly — runs in your browser via JavaScript. Your documents are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete confidentiality.
