Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a PDF to Word?

To convert a PDF to Word, simply go to our PDF to Word tool page, upload your PDF file using the drag and drop interface or file browser, and click "Convert." Once the conversion is complete, you can download the Word document. The conversion preserves text formatting, tables, and basic images.

Is my data secure when I use FileType:PDF?

Yes, your data security is our top priority. We use TLS/SSL encryption to protect your files during transmission. Files uploaded by non-registered users are automatically deleted within 24 hours after processing. For registered users, files are securely stored according to your account settings. Our staff members do not access your files except in specific cases where you request technical support that requires file inspection.

What's the difference between free and premium plans?

Our free plan allows you to use basic PDF tools with some limitations on file size (up to 10MB) and the number of conversions per day. Premium plans remove these limitations and provide access to advanced features such as OCR, batch processing, cloud storage, priority processing, and higher quality conversions. Premium users also receive priority customer support and can access their conversion history.

Why did my conversion fail?

Conversions might fail for several reasons: the file could be password-protected or encrypted, the file might be corrupted, the file size might exceed our limits, or the content might be too complex for automatic conversion. For password-protected PDFs, try using our "Unlock PDF" tool first. If the file is very large or complex, try compressing it or splitting it into smaller parts. If you continue to experience issues, please contact our support team for assistance.

Can I merge multiple PDFs into one document?

Yes, our "Merge PDF" tool allows you to combine multiple PDF files into a single document. You can upload multiple files, rearrange their order by dragging and dropping, and then merge them with a single click. The merged PDF will maintain the quality of the original documents and can be immediately downloaded after processing.
