Why do some conversions take a few minutes?

Regular, text-based PDFs convert in seconds. Scanned PDFs (a photo or scan of a paper document) need OCR to read the text, which takes real processing time — usually a few minutes depending on the number of pages.

Is my file kept or shared with anyone?

No. Your file is used only to perform the conversion and is automatically deleted from our server shortly afterward — we don't store, read, or share it.

What if the converter is busy?

To keep conversions fast for everyone, only a small number run at once. If you see a "busy" message, just wait a few minutes and try again.

Will my formatting be preserved?

We aim to preserve text, layout, and tables as closely as possible, but complex designs may need minor touch-ups in Word afterward.
