🔒 Runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded. ℹ️ This extracts the PDF's text into an editable Word document. Exact layout, columns, and images are not preserved (best for text-heavy PDFs).
How to Convert a PDF to Word
Upload a PDF and this tool extracts its text into an editable Word (.docx) file — entirely in your browser, with nothing uploaded.
- Choose your PDF with the file picker above.
- The tool reads the text from every page.
- Download the editable
.docxto open in Word, Google Docs, or any editor.
What This Tool Does (and Doesn’t Do)
| Does | Doesn’t |
|---|---|
| Extracts all text into an editable .docx | Reproduce exact columns/layout |
| Keeps page order, separates pages | Recreate images, charts, or complex tables |
| Works fully offline in your browser | Read scanned (image-only) PDFs |
This is the honest trade-off of any in-browser PDF-to-Word tool: you get the content in an editable form, not a pixel-perfect clone of the original design. For text-heavy documents — reports, articles, letters, ebooks — that is exactly what most people need.
Why In-Browser Matters
Because the conversion uses pdf.js (to read the PDF) and docx (to build the Word file) right in your browser, your document never touches a server. That makes it safe for sensitive files — contracts, statements, resumes — unlike upload-based converters.
Tips for the Best Result
- Use it on digital (text-based) PDFs — ones created from Word, Google Docs, or a website.
- For scanned PDFs, run OCR first to add a text layer.
- After converting, reapply headings and formatting in Word — the text comes through clean and ready to style.
Frequently asked questions
Is this PDF to Word converter free and private?+
Yes. It is free and runs entirely in your browser — your PDF is never uploaded to any server. The text extraction and Word file are created locally on your device, so even confidential documents stay private.
Does it keep the exact PDF layout in Word?+
No. This tool extracts the PDF's text into an editable .docx so you can reuse and edit the content. Exact columns, fonts, tables, and images are not reproduced — it is best for text-heavy PDFs where you mainly want the words in an editable form.
Will it work on a scanned PDF?+
No. A scanned PDF is an image of a page with no real text to extract, so the Word file would be empty. You need OCR software for scanned documents. This converter works on digital, text-based PDFs.
Can I edit the Word file afterwards?+
Yes — that is the point. The output is a standard .docx that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, or Pages, where you can freely edit, format, and reuse the text.
Is there a page or size limit?+
There is no fixed limit, but because everything runs in your browser, very large PDFs depend on your device's memory. Most documents convert in a second or two.
