Frequently asked questions

Is this PDF to handwriting tool free?

Yes — completely free with no sign-up and no watermark on the result.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. The text is extracted and re-typeset entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device.

Does it copy actual handwriting, like mine?

No — it re-types your PDF's text using a handwriting-style font on ruled paper, for a handwritten look. It doesn't imitate any specific person's handwriting.

Will this work on a scanned PDF?

Only if it already has a text layer. Scanned pages with no selectable text produce nothing — run OCR PDF first to add one.

Will the original formatting, like bold or tables, carry over?

No — only the plain text is extracted and re-typeset; formatting, tables and images aren't preserved.
