Why browser-based conversion helps

Your files are processed on this device instead of being sent through a server upload queue. That can be faster for quick jobs and better for private documents, images, and data files you do not want sitting in someone else's storage.

Scanned PDFs need OCR before text can be extracted.

Frequently asked questions

Will this work on every PDF?

It works best on PDFs with selectable text. Image-only scans may return little or no text.

Is the file uploaded?

No upload is needed for the browser conversion flow.

Why use text instead of Word?

Text is best when you want simple copy, search, or import into another app without formatting.

Can I convert multiple PDFs?

Use the main converter to add one or more supported files, then download the results.
