FAQ
What is the quality of the resulting PDF?
Conversion is performed on the server using a professional engine. Text in the PDF remains vector-based and selectable, not rasterized into an image.

Yes, with server-side conversion, embedded images, charts, and shapes are preserved. Complex objects (SmartArt, Excel charts) may appear simplified.
What if the font in the PDF differs from the original?
If your document uses a rare font, it may be substituted. For guaranteed results, use common fonts: Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri, Roboto.
Can I customize orientation and page size?
Yes. Before converting, select size (A4 or Letter), orientation (portrait or landscape), and margins (normal, narrow, or wide).
Is it safe to upload confidential documents?
Files are transmitted over HTTPS, processed on the server, and deleted immediately after conversion. We do not store or view uploaded documents.
