Frequently asked questions
What kind of PDF files can I convert?
FileAlter is built for scanned or image-based PDFs — files where the text is part of an image rather than selectable text. Each page is rendered as an image and processed with Tesseract OCR to recognize the text before building the Word document.
Which languages does the OCR support?
Over 100 languages are supported, including English, Uzbek (Latin and Cyrillic), Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Turkish, Polish, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese and Korean. You can select multiple languages at once if a document mixes languages.
How accurate is the OCR conversion?
Accuracy depends on scan quality, resolution and font clarity. Clean, high-resolution scans typically produce highly accurate results, while low-quality or skewed scans may need manual review after conversion.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes, files up to 300 MB are supported. Larger documents with more pages will simply take longer to process.
Do you store my PDF or the converted document?
No. Files are processed automatically and removed from our servers afterward. We never share your documents with third parties.
Is the PDF to Word conversion free?
Yes, conversion is completely free with no sign-up, subscription, or watermark.
