PDF to Word Converter

Extract text from any PDF into an editable Word document — right in your browser.

🔒 100% in-browser. Text extraction uses pdfjs, Word generation uses the docx library — nothing is uploaded.
ℹ️ Best for text-heavy PDFs (reports, contracts, e-books). Complex layouts (multi-column magazines, forms) lose formatting — this is the honest limit of client-side conversion.

Depends on the tool — client-side tools keep files on-device; server tools auto-delete files after processing.

How to use PDF to Word

  1. Drop a PDF (up to 50 MB). Digital PDFs (reports, contracts, e-books, articles) give the cleanest results.
  2. Optionally pick specific pages ('1-5,10' or leave blank for all) and choose a font (Calibri default).
  3. Click Convert to Word. Text is extracted from every page and reassembled into paragraphs.
  4. Download the .docx file. Open in Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, Google Docs, or Pages — text is fully editable.

Common use cases

  • Editing contracts and reports. Received a PDF that needs your edits? Convert to Word, make your changes, then export back to PDF.
  • Repurposing research. Extract text from academic papers, market research, or industry reports for citations, notes, or presentations.
  • Legal document review. Convert scanned court filings, agreements, and briefs into editable Word for redlining and comments.
  • E-book editing. Turn a PDF e-book into an editable Word document for annotation, translation, or content adaptation.
  • Resume rescue. Someone sent you their resume as a PDF and you need to edit it? PDF → Word gives you an editable copy in seconds.

Tips

  • This is a TEXT extraction tool — layout fidelity (columns, images, exact font matching) is not preserved. For text-heavy documents that's fine; for magazines or forms, expect a plain-text version.
  • For scanned PDFs (image only), text extraction won't work — you need OCR first. OCR support is on our roadmap.
  • Larger PDFs (100+ pages) work but take 10-30 seconds. Splitting first is faster if you only need certain sections.
  • The output uses standard Word formatting — Calibri 11pt by default. Change the font in the tool or edit in Word after.

Troubleshooting

Extracted text is garbled.
PDFs sometimes embed text without proper Unicode mapping. This is a fundamental PDF issue — no client-side tool can fix it. Try opening the PDF in Adobe Acrobat and re-saving.
Layout is different from the PDF.
Client-side conversion focuses on text content, not layout preservation. Tables, columns, and complex layouts are simplified into paragraphs.
The PDF has images and I want to keep them.
This version extracts text only. To keep images, use PDF → JPG to export image pages separately, then insert them in the Word document.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded?
No. 100% client-side. Text extraction uses pdfjs, .docx generation uses the docx library — both run in your browser.
Does it preserve formatting?
Text and paragraph breaks are preserved. Fonts, colors, tables, images, and columns are NOT preserved — this is the honest limit of client-side conversion. For layout-perfect conversion, use Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
No — scanned PDFs are images. You need OCR (optical character recognition) first. If your PDF's text is selectable in a PDF reader, this tool works.
What's the max file size?
50 MB. That's a browser memory limit — larger PDFs may crash the tab. Use Split PDF to break large documents into chunks.
Can I convert password-protected PDFs?
No — you'd need to unlock the PDF first (Preview on Mac, Adobe Reader, or similar), then convert.
