PDF to Word
Advanced PDF & Document ManagementExtract a PDF's text and layout into an editable .docx file.
What is PDF to Word?
PDF to Word pulls the selectable text out of a PDF and rebuilds it as an editable Word (.docx) document you can open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice. It reads each page, groups the text back into visual lines and paragraphs, and hands you a clean document to edit. This is a text-fidelity conversion: the words come across accurately, but original fonts, images, and exact page layout are not reproduced. Everything runs in your browser, so the PDF is never uploaded.
How to use PDF to Word
Drop in your PDF
Drag a PDF onto the drop zone or click to browse. Only text-based PDFs work — scanned or image-only pages have no selectable text to extract.
Convert to Word
Click Convert to Word. The tool reads every page in order, showing a page-by-page progress counter as it reconstructs the lines and paragraphs.
Check the extracted text
A preview shows the first 40 lines it recovered, along with the page and line counts, so you can confirm the text came through before downloading.
Download the .docx
Click Download .docx to save an editable Word file, named after your PDF. Open it in Word or Google Docs and edit freely.
