Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word for free?

Yes. Use the OCR Scan option which uses optical character recognition to detect and extract text from scanned or image-based PDFs. The result is a fully editable Word document, completely free.

What is OCR and why do I need it for PDF to Word conversion?

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is technology that reads text from images and scanned documents. If your PDF was created by scanning a paper document, the text is stored as an image — OCR converts it into real, editable text for your Word file.

Will the formatting be preserved after conversion?

Yes. Our converter preserves fonts, paragraph styles, tables, and text colours as closely as possible. Complex layouts may require minor adjustments in Word after conversion.

Is there a file size limit for PDF to Word conversion?

Our tool handles standard PDF files of all sizes. Very large PDFs with many pages may take slightly longer to process but are fully supported.
