Which conversions do not upload my file?

JPG and PNG to PDF, PDF to JPG and PNG, and extracting plain text all run on your device. The Office conversions, HTML to PDF and OCR need a server. Every tool page says which it is, under the workspace — it is generated from the tool's processing mode, so a tool that uploads cannot display the browser-only badge by mistake.

Which direction converts more reliably?

Into PDF. Rendering a document as fixed pages is a well-defined job. Getting a document back out of a PDF means inferring what was a heading, a table or a column from where the text was drawn, and that inference is sometimes wrong.

My PDF is a scan. Which converter should I use?

None of them directly — a scan contains no text for a converter to work with. Run OCR on it first to add a text layer, then convert the result.

Can I chain two conversions?

Yes, and it is often the right approach. Scan to OCR to Word, or Excel to PDF to merged report. Each step downloads a file you feed into the next.
