Frequently asked questions
What happens to my files?
Your file is transferred encrypted and processed in Germany only for this one conversion. It is deleted right after the result is delivered; the content is neither stored nor analyzed. For very sensitive documents, we recommend our tools where the file stays on your device, such as “Redact patient data”.
Will the Word document look exactly like the PDF?
Usually very close: paragraphs, tables and images are carried over and can be edited. Bulleted lists sometimes come out as a table, and complex layouts may shift a little. If a scan has no text layer, its pages end up as images in the document; in that case make the PDF searchable first with “Make scans searchable (OCR)”.
Are there limits on file size or page count?
Yes, so the tool stays free for everyone: up to 15 MB per file and up to 20 pages. On top of that there is a generous daily allowance. Once it is used up, you can continue the next day.
Is the tool free?
Yes. All tools on Gatefrog are free to use, with no sign-up, no installation and no watermark from us.
