Frequently Asked Questions
Is my document safe?
Absolutely. All conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your files are never sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy for sensitive documents.
Will formatting be preserved?
For text-heavy documents, formatting is well preserved. Pixel-perfect layout replication (especially for complex PDFs) is not always possible with browser-based conversion — check your output and re-convert if needed.
What is the maximum file size?
Since conversion runs in your browser, your device's available memory is the limit. Most documents up to 50 MB convert without issue on modern hardware.
Can I convert scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs are images without selectable text, so text extraction won't work without OCR (optical character recognition). Text-based PDFs convert fully.
What is EPUB used for?
EPUB is the standard eBook format used by Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, and most e-readers. Converting a document to EPUB lets you read it on any e-reader app or device.
Is this tool free?
Yes — 100% free, with no file count limits, no watermarks, and no sign-up required.
Why Use a Document Converter?
Different document formats serve very different purposes. PDFs preserve exact layout and are ideal for sharing or printing. DOCX files are editable in Microsoft Word and Google Docs. EPUB is optimized for reflowable text on e-readers. TXT strips everything to pure plain text, making it perfect for scripts, data pipelines, and developers. Converting between these formats opens up your content for new uses without re-creating it from scratch.
Writers & Publishers
Export manuscripts to EPUB for self-publishing on Amazon KDP or Apple Books. Convert drafts from DOCX to PDF for final review copies.
Developers
Convert documentation to Markdown for GitHub repos. Strip formatting from Word documents to plain text for data processing pipelines.
Business Professionals
Convert reports to PDF before sending to clients to preserve layout. Import legacy RTF files into modern DOCX format for editing.
Students & Researchers
Convert research papers to plain text for analysis tools. Create accessible EPUB versions of long-form reading material for e-readers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What document formats are supported?
You can convert between PDF, DOCX (Word), TXT, HTML, RTF, ODT, EPUB, and Markdown. Not all conversion pairs are supported — the available output formats update based on your input file type.
Will formatting be preserved when converting?
Simple formatting (headings, bold, italic, lists) is preserved in most conversions. Complex layouts, images, and advanced formatting may not transfer perfectly between formats. PDF conversions in particular may lose editable formatting.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to editable text?
Scanned PDFs are images, not text. Converting them to editable format requires OCR (Optical Character Recognition), which is not currently supported in this browser-based tool. Adobe Acrobat or Google Docs (which can OCR PDFs) are recommended for this use case.
Are my documents uploaded to a server?
No. All conversion happens in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
What if my converted file looks wrong?
Document conversion between different formats always involves some interpretation. For important documents, review the output carefully. If results are poor, try a different intermediate format or use a dedicated desktop application.
