Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs inside your browser using PDF.js. Your file is never sent to any server, making this safe for sensitive or confidential documents.

Does the output preserve formatting like bold or tables?

The converter detects approximate heading levels from font sizes and preserves paragraph flow. Complex layouts like multi-column text, tables, or decorative elements may not be reproduced exactly.

Why is some text missing or garbled?

PDFs that consist of scanned page images rather than embedded text cannot be converted without OCR. This tool only works with PDFs that have a real text layer.

Can I convert a password-protected PDF?

Yes. If your PDF has a user password you will be prompted to enter it. The password is only used locally to open the file and is never sent anywhere.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no hard limit imposed by this tool. Very large PDFs may take a few extra seconds because all processing runs in the browser.

What does the downloaded HTML file contain?

The downloaded file is a self-contained HTML document with inline CSS styling. It can be opened in any browser and edited in any text or HTML editor.
