Questions
Does it work on scanned documents?
Only if the scan already contains a text layer (OCR). Pure images contain no text to extract.
Is formatting kept?
Line breaks are kept. Fonts, tables and layout are not.
Is Convert Magician really free?
Yes. All tools are free to use without an account. The site is funded by advertising, which is why you may see ads around the tools.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Processing happens in your browser. The only thing downloaded from our server is the tool itself; your document is never sent anywhere.
