No. Text extraction runs entirely in your browser; the file never leaves your device.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs contain images, not text. Run them through the OCR Scanner first to make the text searchable, then convert.

Are tables converted?

Not as Markdown tables yet — table text comes out as lines. Headings, lists and paragraphs are detected from font size and layout.
