FAQ

Why does the layout look different?

PDF stores positioned glyphs, not paragraphs. This tool rebuilds lines from their baselines; recreating an exact layout needs a commercial converter.

Will the text keep its order?

Yes for normal single-column pages: lines are sorted top to bottom and runs on the same baseline left to right.

Is the PDF uploaded?

No, everything runs in this tab.

Files never leave your device

Processing happens in your browser using the File API, WebAssembly and Web Workers. There is no upload endpoint.
