Server-side processing
Tools that need webpage capture, Chromium rendering, or backend automation disclose that before submission.
API available
Only tools with a real API landing page or API Docs support are marked as API available.

Common issues
Scanned PDFs need OCR first
If text cannot be selected, convert-from-PDF tools may only see images until OCR creates a text layer.
Tables may require cleanup
Merged cells, rotated headers, and dense invoices can need manual review after extraction.
Layout is not always editable structure
PDFs preserve appearance, not the original Word or spreadsheet model. Review the converted output.
Image exports can be large
Higher DPI improves quality but increases output size. Compress or lower DPI when sharing online.

FAQ
Can PDF to Word recover the original document perfectly?
No converter can guarantee the original file structure. Text-based PDFs usually convert better than scanned or heavily designed files.
Should I OCR before converting a scanned PDF?
Yes. OCR adds a searchable text layer that improves PDF to Word, Markdown, JSON, and table extraction results.
Are extracted files uploaded?
Most file-based extraction happens locally in your browser. If a workflow needs server-side processing or API automation, that path is labeled.
Which API is relevant for scanned PDFs?
Use the PDF OCR API when scanned documents need automated text recognition before downstream conversion.
