Frequently Asked Questions

Will the formatting be preserved?

dShift extracts text and basic structure from the PDF. Complex layouts with tables and images may need minor manual adjustment in Word after conversion.

Do I need to sign up or provide an email?

No. dShift converts your PDF locally and downloads the DOCX immediately. No account, no email, no sign-up required.

Is my PDF secure during conversion?

Yes. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never sent to or stored on any server.

What PDF types work best?

Text-based PDFs convert with the best accuracy. Scanned PDFs (images of documents) require OCR — coming soon to dShift.
