Our Custom-Built Conversion Engine

What makes DocFlat different? We've built our own document processing engine from the ground up. This means:

Optimized for Accuracy

Our converter is specifically designed for PDF-to-text conversion, not a generic tool trying to do everything. We focus on what matters most:

  • Accurate text extraction
  • Table structure preservation
  • Smart heading detection
  • Clean, readable output

Built for Speed

No waiting around for your conversions. Our engine processes documents quickly while maintaining quality. Most conversions complete in seconds, not minutes.

Privacy First

Your documents are processed securely and automatically deleted after conversion. We don't store your files or use them for any other purpose.

How to Use the New Formats

Using the new export options is simple:

  1. Upload your PDF - Drag and drop or click to select
  2. Choose your format - Select from the format selector before conversion
  3. Convert - Click the convert button
  4. Download - Get your file in the selected format

You can also convert the same PDF to multiple formats without re-uploading.

Perfect for AI Workflows

Our export formats are optimized for use with AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. The clean output makes it easy to:

  • Feed documents into AI for analysis
  • Create training data
  • Build knowledge bases
  • Automate document processing
