Are uploaded files kept on the platform?

No. Uploaded PDFs and converted results are stored temporarily during processing only. Auto-deleted after 1 hour. We never retain user files.

Do you support encrypted or password-protected PDFs?

Not yet. Please remove password protection with Adobe Acrobat or another tool first, then upload again.

Converted format differs a lot from the original PDF?

PDF and Word use different layout engines. Scanned or complex layouts may have deviations. Prefer text-based (non-scanned) PDFs for best results. We try to preserve paragraphs, fonts, and table structure.

We use a high-quality OCR engine. Good accuracy for clear printed text. Blurry, tilted, or handwritten text may have lower accuracy. Upload clear, upright scans for best results.

Will text and image quality drop noticeably after compression?

No. We use near-lossless strategy. Redundant metadata and optimizable images compressed. Text clarity preserved. Image quality maintained.
