Everything people ask before trusting a tool with a file they can't replace. If something here isn't clear, the free preview will answer it on your actual file in about a minute.
It rebuilds an editable source file — InDesign, PowerPoint, Word, SVG or a font — from a PDF or image you already have. It reads the structure that is still inside the file and reconstructs it.
For the PDF tools, no: text, vectors and images are read out of the file's own data and rebuilt. For Image → Vector and Image → Font there is nothing structural to read, so those trace the shapes in the picture — which is what every vectorizer does, ours included.
Generic converters aim at Word and Excel and treat layout as disposable. These tools target design formats — IDML with live text frames, PPTX with real text boxes — where the layout is the thing you're trying to get back.
No. There is no sign-up, no password and no stored profile. You upload, preview, pay for that one file, and leave.
A single page or a logo is $1; a font is $10; everything else runs at $0.50 a page, so a 24-page brochure comes to $12. Full breakdown on the pricing page — the $1 minimum applies to every paid job; the compressor is free.
Yes, on every tool. It runs the reconstruction far enough to score it, then shows you what you'd be buying.
Given the preview shows the result quality before payment, refunds are the exception rather than the workflow — but a genuinely broken output is worth writing in about.
Your upload and the generated result are both deleted within 12 hours, whether or not you paid.
No. Uploads are processed to produce your file and nothing else.
Nothing you upload is published, indexed or shared. Files sit in processing storage only until the 12-hour deletion runs.
No — a scan is a photograph of a page with no text or vector objects underneath. The tool tells you that rather than producing a convincing-looking but empty result.
A rough estimate of how much of the original structure survived into the rebuilt file. High scores mean the layout came back close to intact; low scores usually mean the source was flattened.
Text comes back as live, editable text. Fonts themselves are not extracted or shipped from a PDF — you'll want the real font installed to match the original exactly.
Up to 60 MB and 200 pages per file. Very large documents may need splitting first; the uploader tells you before you wait on a processing run.
