Convert PDF →Frequently Asked Questions
Is the conversion lossless?
Vector content (text, line art) converts losslessly. Image content is re-encoded at the chosen DPI.
Are scanned PDFs supported?
Yes — text extraction depends on whether OCR has been applied. Image-only scans extract as images, not searchable text.
Is the file uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs in your browser. The PDF stays on your device.
