What kind of PDFs does this work on?

Text-based PDFs that already contain real, extractable text — for example documents exported from Word, Google Docs, or a website.

Does it work on scanned documents?

No. Scanned or image-only PDFs have no extractable text and are detected and rejected with a clear message. See /guides/pdf-to-word-scanned-pdf-limitations.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. Conversion runs locally in the browser, so the PDF is not uploaded to Looty Tools.

What is the maximum PDF size?

The maximum file size is 25 MB, with up to 50 pages.

Are tables preserved?

Simple, regularly-gridded tables are reconstructed as real Word tables on a best-effort basis. Irregular or merged-cell tables may come through as plain text.

Can I edit the Word document afterward?

Yes. The output is a standard .docx file you can open and edit in Word, Google Docs, or any compatible editor.
