Convert PDF to Word
Pull the text out of a PDF and get back an editable Word document. The conversion runs on your own device, so contracts, CVs and statements are never uploaded.
Text, not layout. This extracts the words and page breaks and writes them into a real, editable .docx. It does not reproduce columns, tables, images or fonts — converting those faithfully requires a server-side engine, which would mean uploading your document. If you need the text to edit or reuse, this is the fastest route.
100% private — this tool runs in your browser. Your file is never uploaded to any server.
How it works
A PDF stores text as characters placed at coordinates, with no paragraphs, headings or tables recorded. This tool reads those characters, works out which belong to the same line from their positions, and writes each line into a genuine .docx that Word, Google Docs and Pages all open without complaint. What it cannot do is rebuild structure the PDF never stored.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a PDF to Word for free?
Drop the PDF into the tool above and press Convert. You get a real .docx containing the document text, with no account, no watermark and no page limit.
Will my formatting, tables and images be preserved?
No. This recovers text and page breaks, not layout. Columns become sequential lines, tables lose their grid, and images are not carried over. Faithful layout conversion needs a server-side engine, which would mean uploading your document.
Why is my converted document empty?
Almost certainly because the PDF is scanned. A scanned page is a photograph of text, so there are no characters to extract. Convert it with PDF to JPG first, then run Image to Text.
How can I tell if my PDF is scanned?
Open it in any PDF reader and try to select a sentence. If the text highlights, it has a text layer and will convert. If you can only draw a box over it, it is a scan.
Is the .docx a real Word file?
Yes. It is genuine Office Open XML, the same format Word saves, so Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages all open it directly.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The document is opened and read inside your browser tab, and the Word file is assembled there too. Nothing is transmitted.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
No. An encrypted PDF cannot be read without its password. Remove the protection in a PDF reader first, then convert.
Does this work on a phone?
Yes, in mobile Safari and Chrome. Long documents take longer on a phone because extraction runs on your own processor.
