Frequently Asked Questions
Is PDF to Word conversion really free?
Yes, mbPDF is completely free with no hidden costs or premium tiers. No registration required. You can convert as many PDFs to Word as you want without paying anything. We believe document conversion should be accessible to everyone.
Is the formatting preserved when converting PDF to Word?
Yes, our advanced converter maintains the original layout, fonts, images, and tables from your PDF. For scanned PDFs, we use OCR technology to extract text while preserving the original formatting as much as possible. Complex layouts with multiple columns are handled with care.
What's the maximum file size for PDF to Word conversion?
You can convert PDF files up to 10 MB. For larger files, we recommend splitting them into smaller parts using our free PDF splitter tool, or compressing them first with our PDF compressor. If you need to convert files larger than 10 MB, please contact us and we may be able to accommodate special requests.
Are my PDF files secure?
All uploaded files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers after 10 minutes. We use 256-bit SSL encryption for all transfers, the same security standard used by banks and financial institutions. We never store, share, or access your documents. Your privacy is our priority.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Yes, our converter includes advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to extract text from scanned PDFs and images. This allows you to edit documents that were originally scanned, photographed, or faxed. Our OCR engine supports over 100 languages and handles complex layouts.
Can I convert PDF to Word on mobile?
Yes, mbPDF works perfectly on all devices including smartphones and tablets. The interface is fully responsive, so you can convert PDF to Word on your iPhone, Android, iPad, or any mobile browser with the same great experience. No app download required.
What Word format do you output?
We convert PDF to DOCX (Microsoft Word 2007 and later) format. This is the modern standard for Word documents and is compatible with Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Apple Pages, and most other word processors. The DOCX format is smaller, more robust, and better for editing than the older DOC format.
How accurate is the OCR for scanned documents?
Our OCR engine achieves over 99% accuracy on clear scanned documents. For documents with unusual fonts, poor image quality, or complex layouts, accuracy may vary. We continuously improve our OCR algorithms to handle challenging cases. The extracted text maintains the original formatting as much as possible.
