PDF to Word

Extract the text from a PDF into an editable Word .docx file — right in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

About PDF to Word

PDF to Word pulls the text out of your PDF and rebuilds it as a standard, editable .docx file you can open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or Pages. It groups text into lines and paragraphs so the document reads naturally.

Because the conversion runs locally in your browser, it's fast and completely private — ideal for reusing content from a report, contract or article without retyping. Note that image-only (scanned) PDFs need OCR first, since they contain no selectable text.

Frequently asked questions

Will the layout look exactly like the PDF?+

This tool preserves the text so you can edit it in Word, but it doesn't reproduce exact page layout, columns, fonts or images. For most people who just need to reuse or edit the words, that's exactly what they want.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?+

No. Scanned or photographed PDFs are images with no selectable text, so there's nothing to extract without OCR (optical character recognition), which is a separate step.

Are my files uploaded?+

No — the text is extracted and the Word file is built entirely in your browser. Your document never leaves your device.
