Local by architecture

Your document stays on your device

Document processing and website measurement are separate systems. The tools do not send your file to a conversion service.

No document upload API

Files are opened through standard browser file controls and passed to local processing code.

Optional local drafts

Lightweight editable text can be saved in IndexedDB on your device. Uploaded file binaries are never saved there.

Consent before optional services

Advertising and optional analytics may process technical browser data only after the relevant consent and configuration.

Use a trusted device

Avoid handling sensitive files on shared, monitored, compromised, or otherwise untrusted devices.

Designed for clarity

Know the limits before you begin

Browser processing is useful for ordinary documents, but it does not reproduce every capability of desktop publishing or professional conversion software.

  • Scanned PDFs need OCR, which is not included.
  • Complex columns and tables can lose their original structure.
  • Password-protected documents are not supported.
  • Large files can exceed the available browser memory.
  • Macros, tracked changes, embedded objects, and custom fonts may be simplified or omitted.
  • Mobile browsers usually have tighter memory limits than desktop browsers.

Questions answered

Questions about EditableDocument

Are my files uploaded to EditableDocument?

No. A file you select is read and processed by code running in your browser. EditableDocument has no document upload endpoint, and the document itself is not sent to our hosting, advertising, or analytics providers.

Do I need to create an account?

No registration, login, or email address is required. Open a tool, select a supported file or enter text, and download the result.

Are the document tools free?

Yes. The tools are free to use. The site is prepared to be supported by clearly labelled advertising, which remains separate from document processing.

Can the PDF to Word tool convert a scanned PDF?

Not by itself. Scanned PDFs usually contain page images without selectable text. EditableDocument does not include OCR, so you will need to run OCR elsewhere before extracting the text here.

Which browsers are supported?

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari with JavaScript and Web Worker support should work. Available memory varies by browser and device, so large documents may work better on a desktop computer.

Can the tools work offline?

After the site and required code have been cached by the optional web app, some tools can continue working offline. Open the tool once while online first. Browser updates and storage cleanup can remove cached resources.

Why can formatting change during conversion?

PDF is a fixed-layout format, while Word documents store editable structure. Columns, tables, fonts, floating objects, and page positioning do not always translate cleanly between those models.

Does EditableDocument store document contents?

Uploaded PDF and DOCX files are not stored by EditableDocument. If you use draft restoration, only lightweight editable text or editor data is saved in IndexedDB on your device, and you can delete it from the tool.
