PDF to Word

Extract a PDF's text into an editable .docx document.

Convert a PDF into an editable Word (.docx) document for free, right in your browser. Everything runs entirely in your browser — your files are never uploaded to a server, so your data stays private on your device.

Getting back to an editable document

It happens to everyone: you receive a PDF — a contract, a report, a template — and need to change a paragraph, update a figure, or rework the layout, but the original Word file is nowhere to be found. Converting the PDF to .docx gives you a working document you can open in Word, Google Docs or any compatible editor, so you can pick up editing where the original author left off instead of retyping the whole thing.

What converts cleanly, and what to expect

Text-based PDFs — the kind created directly from Word, Google Docs or similar tools — convert the most reliably, since their text, paragraphs and basic layout map naturally onto a Word document. Documents with complex multi-column layouts, unusual fonts or unusual page designs may need a little manual tidying up afterwards. Scanned pages are stored as images rather than text, so converting them to Word will preserve the look but won’t produce editable text — for those, a PDF-to-Word pass over a previously OCR’d file gives the best results.

Frequently asked questions

Will the formatting be perfect?

Text-based PDFs convert well; complex multi-column layouts and scanned pages may need minor cleanup in Word.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Scanned pages are images, so results vary — text-based PDFs give the best output.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No — conversion runs entirely on your device.
