Frequently asked questions
- Are my files uploaded to a server?
- Your files are processed on your device, not uploaded to our servers. Your file and edits are saved in this browser for recovery, and previous documents remain in Saved drafts when you open another file. Use Saved drafts to resume or delete individual copies, or clear this site’s browser data to remove all copies. Browser storage can be cleared or become unavailable; download important work.
- Will the Markdown match the original page layout?
- No. Text follows extracted reading order, larger type may become headings, and columns become separated text. Images and exact page geometry are not retained.
- Can this convert scanned PDFs?
- Yes. Scanned pages use on-device OCR; recognition and heading detection may be approximate.
- Is this really free, or free "until you hit a limit"?
- Really free. Unlike most "free" PDF sites there is no task-per-day cap, no locked Pro features, no watermark stamped on your file, and no payment step before download. Every tool is the full tool.
