FAQ
Questions, answered.
Why is my output empty?
This usually means the PDF is a scan or image-only — no selectable text is embedded. Use an OCR tool first to make the text extractable.
Where does my file go?
Nowhere. Every conversion runs entirely in your browser — files never touch a server.
Is there a file size limit?
Files up to 100 MB per upload are supported. Larger files may take longer to process.
Can I convert password-protected files?
Remove the password first — encrypted files are rejected to protect the original file's security.
