Yes. Unlike most Tool4U tools, this conversion needs engines that cannot run in a browser, so the PDF is sent to our server. It is converted and deleted immediately after — never stored, logged, or backed up.

Will my tables come out as proper columns?

Tables with clear gaps between columns usually do. Each text line becomes a row and wide gaps become column breaks, so tightly packed or merged cells may need tidying. Scanned PDFs have no text to extract.

Is there a size limit?

PDFs up to 25 MB can be converted.
