What happens to your data
Kept
- The text as normal editable paragraphs, with bullet and numbered lists and simple tables rebuilt from how they are laid out on the page
- An OpenDocument file that opens in LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Google Docs and Word
Good to know
- Only text is taken: images, fonts, colors and the page design do not come over.
- A PDF has no real headings or bold text inside, so everything arrives as regular text.
- Paragraphs, lists and tables are guessed from the layout. Pages with several columns or complex tables can come out mixed up, so check the result.
- Page numbers and headers or footers that repeat on most pages of a longer file are removed.
- A scanned PDF (pages that are pictures of text) has no text to take, so it is refused. There is no OCR.
- For an exact copy of how the PDF looks, convert it to PNG or JPG instead.
- Password-protected PDF files are not supported.
- Files up to 300 MB are accepted.

PDF vs ODT
A PDF file locks in exact layout, fonts, and pagination so it looks identical on every device — the standard for sharing finished documents, contracts, and anything meant to be printed rather than edited.
Used in: Sharing finished documents · Printing · Contracts & forms
ODT
An ODT file is the OpenDocument Text format — an open, non-proprietary standard used by LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and other free office suites as their native format.
Used in: LibreOffice & OpenOffice · Open-standard documents
