FAQ

Will the headings be detected correctly?

Heading detection uses font size as a heuristic, so it’s a good starting point but may need manual cleanup on complex documents.

Can this handle scanned PDFs?

No — it needs a PDF with real, selectable text.

Can I convert a password-protected PDF?

Not currently — password-protected or encrypted PDFs aren't supported. Remove the password first, then convert.

Does this work on Mac, Windows, or my phone?

Yes — it runs in any modern browser on Mac, Windows, Chromebook, iPhone, or Android. No app or software to install.
