## FAQ

### Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?

Layout is best-effort, not a 1:1 visual clone. Text-based PDFs convert cleanly; complex designs may simplify.

### What about scanned PDFs?

Image-only pages need OCR PDF first so there is a text layer to export. Otherwise the .docx may be mostly empty.

### Does PDF to Word upload my file?

No. Conversion runs in your browser. The file never leaves your device.

### Is PDF to Word free with no watermark?

Yes — free, no account, and no watermark on the .docx.
