Convert / upload mode roadmap

PDF to Word Roadmap

Office conversion is a planned upload-mode feature because high-quality layout reconstruction is not realistic as a small browser-only MVP.

Office conversion will be quality-gated.
Upload-mode conversion will be separated from local tools.

advanced feature boundary

PDF to Word / Excel is not shipped in the local MVP yet.

This feature needs a higher quality bar than the current browser-only pipeline. If it later requires upload or AI processing, VaultPDF will separate it from local tools and ask for explicit consent before any file leaves the browser.

faq

Practical boundaries before you process a file.

Why not ship PDF to Word now?

Bad Office conversion damages trust. VaultPDF will only ship it after a real quality bar is met.

Can PDF to Word be fully local?

For high-fidelity output, server-side conversion is usually more realistic.
