This extracts the editable text from your PDF. Images and exact page layout aren't carried over. For scanned PDFs (pictures of text), use the Image to Text (OCR) tool first.
Steps to convert PDF to Word
- Drop your PDF into the box above, or click to choose it.
- The text is extracted and built into a Word document.
- Your .docx downloads automatically — open it in Word, Google Docs or Pages to edit.
What carries over (and what doesn't)
This gives you the editable text from the PDF so you can rework it. The exact layout and images aren't carried over — the goal is to free the words for editing.
If your PDF is a scan (a picture of text), there's no selectable text to extract — run it through the Image to Text (OCR) tool first.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so your PDF stays on your device.
Why is my converted file just text?
Client-side conversion focuses on extracting editable text. For pixel-perfect layout you'd need desktop software, but for editing the content this is fast and private.
