Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using this tool
Troubleshooting Guide
Common issues and how to resolve them
Text appears larger than expected
OpenDyslexic font is designed with increased letter spacing and height for readability. This is intentional and improves accessibility. If the text is too large, you can adjust the zoom level in your PDF reader or document viewer.
Some characters look unusual
OpenDyslexic features unique letter shapes to prevent confusion - this is by design! Letters like b, d, p, q are intentionally different to aid recognition. This distinctiveness is what makes the font helpful for dyslexia.
Conversion takes longer than expected
Large documents or complex PDFs require more processing time. Expect 5-15 seconds for most files. If it takes longer than 30 seconds, refresh and try again. Check your internet connection stability.
Original formatting is lost
Complex layouts may be simplified during conversion to ensure text readability. The priority is accessible text over complex formatting. For important documents, compare before/after and adjust formatting manually if needed.
Scanned PDF doesn't convert properly
Scanned PDFs contain images of text, not selectable text. Use OCR software first to convert the scanned PDF to text-based PDF, then use our converter. Alternatively, use text-based PDFs or Word documents.
