Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know about this online PDF converter.
Is the PDF to Word converter free?
Yes. All conversion features are free of charge — no account needed, no hidden fees. On-page advertising keeps the service running.
Are my files safe? Are they stored anywhere?
Files travel over HTTPS to a third-party cloud parsing engine, then a temporary link returns the result straight to your browser. This site's servers store neither your document nor its output. Intermediate files produced during parsing follow the provider's own platform rules. As with any cloud converter, please avoid uploading highly sensitive personal information.
What are the size and page limits?
The upload limit here is about 100 MB per file, with a hard cap of 600 pages checked before anything leaves your device. The upstream parser may additionally enforce daily task/page quotas.
Can scanned PDFs be converted?
Yes. OCR (optical character recognition) is on by default, so image-only and scanned documents convert just fine. Turning OCR off can speed up plain digital PDFs.
Why does a conversion take minutes?
This isn't copy-paste — an AI model analyses every page's layout, splits tables and recognizes formulas. Queue time depends on upstream load. The progress bar shows live page counts; please keep the tab open.
Why do formulas show as LaTeX code in Word?
Formulas are exported as LaTeX expressions. Convert them with plugins such as MathType in Word, or paste into LaTeX-aware editors like Typora or Obsidian.
The Word download button failed?
The .docx file is generated locally inside your browser. A failure usually means components didn't finish loading (refresh once) or memory ran low (try the standalone HTML instead).
Conversion failed entirely?
Check in order: ① the file is a standard, unencrypted PDF; ② it opens fine elsewhere (not corrupted); ③ the daily quota isn't exhausted. If it still fails, send us the error message via the contact channel.
Word / HTML / Markdown — which output should I choose?
- Word (.docx): keep editing, commenting, re-laying-out.
- Standalone HTML: images embedded as base64 — one file that views offline anywhere or publishes directly.
- Markdown bundle: the .md plus all images, ready for blogs (Hugo/Hexo), Notion, wikis and note apps.
