PDF Veelgestelde vragen over conversie
What is a PDF document?
+
PDF is a fixed-layout document format. The same PDF renders identically on every device — fonts, spacing and pagination are embedded. The cost of that fidelity is that editing a PDF is harder than editing a flowing document.
What is the best format to convert PDF to?
+
Convert PDF to DOCX or Word when you need to edit the content. Convert to PNG or JPG to drop a single page into a slide deck or social-media post. Convert to TXT when you need just the text body without formatting.
Does converting PDF preserve formatting?
+
When you convert PDF to a similar document format (Word, ODT, PDF), formatting, fonts, images and tables are preserved with high fidelity. When you convert to a plain-text format (TXT, MD), styling is stripped down to the underlying words.
Can MOV.to OCR a scanned PDF?
+
Yes. If your PDF is a scanned image of text rather than real text, MOV.to runs OCR on conversion to extract the words. The result is a searchable, copy-pasteable document.
Are formulas preserved when converting PDF?
+
Formulas only apply to spreadsheet documents. PDF does not carry formulas, so this concern does not apply here.
Will my PDF file be private?
+
Yes. PDF uploads travel over HTTPS, sit on our server only long enough to convert, and are auto-deleted. We do not read or index document contents.
How big a PDF can I convert at once?
+
Free users go up to 100 MB — enough for most PDF files including image-heavy reports and long documents. Pro users get multiple GB per upload and batch conversion.
Can I edit a PDF on MOV.to after converting?
+
Yes — MOV.to ships in-browser editors for PDF-style documents: word editor, markdown editor, and read-only readers. Convert in, edit, export out without leaving the page.
Do I need Office or any paid software for PDF?
+
No. PDF conversion runs server-side. You do not need Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat or any local install — just a browser.
Is converting PDF free on MOV.to?
+
Yes — PDF conversion is free for everyday use. Premium plans unlock larger files, batch jobs, OCR for scanned documents, and document AI features (chat, summarize).
