FAQ

How does PDFGem convert PDF to Word?

PDFGem extracts embedded text, infers headings from font size, groups content into paragraphs, and creates a DOCX. It does not reproduce the original layout exactly.

Is my data private?

Processed in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.

Can it handle scanned PDFs?

This converter requires embedded text. For a scan, OCR PDF can return text to review, copy, or download as TXT, but it does not create a new PDF for this converter. Rebuild the Word document from the reviewed text or use OCR software that creates a searchable PDF.

What is the maximum file size?

Files above 50 MB are rejected. Within the limit, time and memory use depend on page count, content complexity, browser, and device.

Will the formatting be preserved?

PDFGem preserves text content, detects headings (H1-H3) by font size, and maintains page breaks. Complex layouts with columns, tables, or images may require manual adjustment.
