Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Extraction happens entirely in your browser with pdf.js — your file never leaves your device, and there's no watermark or signup.

Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?

No — this recovers the editable text, not the exact layout. Columns, precise spacing, tables and styling aren't reconstructed. It's ideal when you want the words in an editable form.

It says no text was found — why?

Your PDF is probably scanned (just images of pages), so there's no selectable text to extract. Run it through the Image to Text (OCR) tool instead.

What format do I get?

A standard .docx file that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and most editors.

PDF to Word (DOCX) Converter

Extract the text from a PDF into an editable Word .docx — in your browser, nothing uploaded. Best for text-based PDFs.

Processed 100% in your browser — nothing you enter here is ever uploaded.

Common use cases

Edit a PDF you can't change

Pull the text out of a PDF into Word so you can update or reuse it, without uploading the file.

Reuse content from a report

Grab paragraphs from a PDF into an editable document instead of retyping them.

Quote or repurpose a document

Get an editable copy of a PDF's text for notes, summaries or a new draft.

How to use the PDF to Word

Drop a PDF into the box, or click to browse. It's processed in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Click "Convert to Word". The text is extracted from the PDF, page by page.

Download the .docx file and open it in Word, Google Docs or any editor to edit the text.

This works on PDFs that contain real text. A scanned PDF (just images of pages) has no text to extract — use the Image to Text (OCR) tool for those.
