FAQ
Is it free?
Yes, completely free and unlimited, with no sign-up and no watermark.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing — your files never leave your computer, so it's safe for private documents.
What about scanned PDFs?
This pulls the embedded text layer, which scanned/image PDFs don't have. For those, use the OCR PDF tool, which reads text from the page images.
