What the conversion actually checks
A conversion is only delivered if it passes named checks. After the DOCX is built, it is rendered back and compared against the source: whether editable content exists at all, whether the text coverage is sufficient, whether critical numbers survived, whether tables exist and keep their merged cells, borders and column contents, whether text sizing is plausible, whether source images are still present, whether the rendered page puts text outside its bounds. A failure on these means no file is published and the reserved credits are released — you are not charged for an output that was going to be wrong.
Pricing is 6 credits per page, charged on the source page count. A 12-page scan costs 72 credits whether the output is dense or sparse, so the cost is predictable before you start rather than discovered afterwards.
When the result passes but is not perfect, it arrives with warnings instead of silence: layout approximate (fonts and spacing differ from the source), images kept as independent objects, or output rendering not verified. Those warnings are the honest middle ground between a false clean success and a refusal.
Frequently asked questions
- What format comes out?
- DOCX, an editable Word document. Not PDF. The point of the conversion is a document you can open and edit, so text becomes real paragraphs and tables become real tables rather than a picture of a page.
- What happens if the output is not good enough?
- The checks run before anything is delivered. If one fails, no file is published and the reserved credits are released. The report names which check failed and which pages were affected, so you know whether it is worth retrying with a different source.
- How is it priced?
- 6 credits per source page. A 12-page document costs 72 credits. The charge is based on the page count of what you upload, so you can work out the cost before submitting rather than after.
- What does "layout approximate" mean?
- The text, numbers and tables are faithful, but fonts and spacing will not match the original pixel for pixel. Producing an editable document means the original layout cannot be preserved exactly; a page image could, but then nothing would be editable.
- What file types can I upload?
- PDF, plus PNG, JPEG, WebP and TIFF images. The image formats matter because a scanned page is just a picture — it has to be read rather than parsed, which is why the quality checks exist.
- Why did my download link stop working?
- Delivery links expire. Once expired, the file is no longer served and you need to submit the conversion again. Download promptly after the job succeeds rather than leaving the tab for later.
What this tool does not do
It does not produce a PDF. The output is DOCX, because the purpose is an editable document.
It does not reproduce the original layout exactly. Fonts and spacing are approximate by design.
It does not deliver a file that failed its checks. Rather than hand you a broken document, it releases the credits and tells you which check failed.
