About this tool
The text, its headings and its paragraph breaks come across, along with bold, italics and sizes. Complex page layouts — multi-column academic papers, heavily designed brochures — will come out as readable text rather than a pixel-perfect copy. That conversion happens here in the browser, which is unusual for this tool and is why nothing has to be uploaded.
Questions
Will the layout be identical?
No, and be wary of any converter that promises it will. Text, structure and basic formatting come across; intricate layout does not.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
No. A scan is a picture of text, so there is nothing to convert until it has been through OCR.
