Why use IlikePDF?
Your files stay with you
Tools marked as browser-based read your document locally. There is no upload step, no server-side storage and no account.
No signup, no watermarks
Every tool is free to use and adds nothing to your document that you didn't ask for.
Honest about limits
Where a conversion can't be perfect in a browser, we say so on the page instead of shipping a file that quietly loses your formatting.
Works on your phone
The interface is built for small screens as well as desktop, so you can fix a document wherever you are.
Frequently asked questions
Is the original layout preserved?
Text content and line breaks carry over, but columns, precise positioning and images do not. The output is designed for editing text, not for reproducing the page.
What happens with scanned PDFs?
They contain no selectable text, so the result would be empty. The tool detects this and tells you to run OCR PDF first.
Is it a genuine .docx file?
Yes — a valid Office Open XML document that opens in Word, LibreOffice and Google Docs.
