Frequently Asked Questions

Nowhere. The rendering happens in your browser using JavaScript (pdfjs-dist) — your PDF never touches our servers, never gets uploaded, never gets stored. Once you close the tab, the file is gone from memory; we have no copy.

Yes — no signup, no email required, no watermarks, no page limits, no daily quota, and no upsell for a paid tier. The tool runs entirely in your browser using free, open-source JavaScript libraries, so we have no server costs to recover. Your privacy IS the business model: we collect nothing because we have no use for it.

Default is 150 DPI which works for screen viewing. For print or detailed work, set 300 DPI. Higher resolutions produce sharper images but larger file sizes — diminishing returns above 300 DPI for most use cases.

Nowhere. The conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript — your images never touch our servers, never get uploaded, never get stored. Once you close the tab, the files are gone from memory; we have no copy. There is nothing for anyone to subpoena, breach, or sell.

Yes — no signup, no email required, no watermarks, no page limits, no daily quota, and no upsell for a paid tier.

Your privacy IS the business model: we collect nothing because we have no use for it.

Yes — the original JPG/PNG bytes are embedded directly into the PDF without re-encoding. The PDF is essentially a wrapper around your original images, so quality is identical.

Nowhere. The entire conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript — your PDF never touches our servers, never gets uploaded, never gets stored. Once you close the tab, the file is gone from memory; we have no copy. There is nothing for anyone to subpoena, breach, or sell.

Your privacy IS the business model: we collect nothing because we have no use for it.

Text content and paragraph structure transfer accurately. Complex layouts with multi-column text, nested tables, or precisely-positioned graphics may need minor manual adjustments. For tables specifically, the PDF-to-Excel tool gives better results.

Nowhere. The conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript — your DOCX never touches our servers, never gets uploaded, never gets stored. Once you close the tab, the file is gone from memory; we have no copy. There is nothing for anyone to subpoena, breach, or sell.

Your privacy IS the business model: we collect nothing because we have no use for it.

Standard text formatting, lists, tables, and embedded images transfer accurately. Highly custom layouts with embedded SmartArt, complex equations, or tracked changes may need minor adjustment. Test with a representative document if formatting fidelity is critical.

Nowhere. The extraction happens in your browser using JavaScript — your PDF never touches our servers, never gets uploaded, never gets stored. Once you close the tab, the file is gone from memory; we have no copy. There is nothing for anyone to subpoena, breach, or sell.

Simple grid tables convert near-perfectly. Tables with merged cells, nested headers, or images embedded as cells may need minor manual adjustment after import. Scanned tables need OCR first (use the OCR tool).

Currently each page is embedded as a high-resolution image — preserving the exact visual layout but not directly editable as text. For text editing, convert PDF to Word first, then paste into PowerPoint.

Your privacy IS the business model: we collect nothing because we have no use for it.

Yes — the tool captures the page after it renders in your browser, so any client-side JS that has already run is included. External resources blocked by CORS may not load, but most public sites convert cleanly.

Nowhere. OCR happens in your browser using JavaScript (Tesseract.js) — your file never touches our servers, never gets uploaded, never gets stored. Once you close the tab, the file and the extracted text are gone from memory; we have no copy.

Your privacy IS the business model: we collect nothing because we have no use for it.

For clear, high-resolution scans of standard fonts, Tesseract typically reaches 95–99% accuracy. Lower-quality scans, handwriting, or unusual fonts reduce accuracy. Higher resolution input (300+ DPI) helps significantly.

Nowhere. The entire compression happens in your browser using JavaScript — your PDF never touches our servers, never gets uploaded, never gets stored. Once you close the tab, the file is gone from memory; we have no copy. There is nothing for anyone to subpoena, breach, or sell.

Your privacy IS the business model: we collect nothing because we have no use for it.

Scanned PDFs typically shrink 50–80% by recompressing embedded images and stripping unused metadata. Native text PDFs compress less (10–30%) because text is already efficient — most savings come from the images.

Nowhere. The merge happens in your browser using JavaScript — your files never touch our servers, never get uploaded, never get stored. Once you close the tab, the files are gone from memory; we have no copy. There is nothing for anyone to subpoena, breach, or sell.

Practically, no — the only constraint is your device's available RAM, which is several gigabytes on any modern computer or phone. The tool has handled hundreds of pages and dozens of files in testing.

Nowhere. The split happens in your browser using JavaScript (pdf-lib) — your PDF never touches our servers, never gets uploaded, never gets stored. Once you close the tab, the files are gone from memory; we have no copy. There is nothing for anyone to subpoena, breach, or sell.

Yes — pages are copied byte-for-byte from the source PDF, not re-rendered. Text, images, fonts, and embedded data are identical to the original.

Nowhere. The signing happens in your browser using JavaScript — your PDF never touches our servers, never gets uploaded, never gets stored. Your signature image stays in your browser too. Once you close the tab, everything is gone from memory; we have no copy.

In most jurisdictions, yes — under the U.S. ESIGN Act, EU eIDAS, and similar laws, digitally-applied signatures are typically legally binding for ordinary contracts. Government documents, real estate, and notarized agreements may require additional procedures (qualified electronic signatures, notarization) — check your specific use case.
