PDF to Word Converter Online

When you need to edit the wording in a PDF — a letter, application draft, or report — saving it as Word is faster than retyping. This tool extracts text from text-based PDFs into a .docx file locally. Scanned PDFs made of photos do not yield usable text here; those require OCR software elsewhere. Columns, tables, fonts, and images from the original layout are not preserved — only the text stream. For sharing a finished document, convert back with Word to PDF after you edit.

Note: This tool extracts text and preserves basic line structure. Complex formatting, images within tables, and advanced styling may not be perfectly preserved.

1. Upload your PDF: Drop a text-based PDF into the dashed area or choose one from your device (up to 25MB, 50 pages).
2. Convert in your browser: Text is extracted with pdf.js, grouped into lines, and packed into a .docx file locally — nothing is uploaded to our servers.
3. Download the Word file: Review the result, then download. Use Try another for a different PDF.
4. Optional — share as PDF again: After editing, convert back with our Word to PDF tool.

This is text extraction, not a layout-preserving PDF engine. Expect differences with:

• Layout and columns: Multi-column pages, floating boxes, and precise spacing from the original PDF are not reconstructed in Word.
• Tables: A clear text grid becomes a Word table. Merged cells, nested tables, and pages without a shared column line stay as paragraphs.
• Images: Photos, logos, and diagrams embedded in the PDF are not copied into the .docx — only text runs are exported.
• Scanned PDFs: Pages that are photographs of paper contain no selectable text here. Use dedicated OCR software elsewhere, then edit the result.

For prose documents — letters, drafts, reports, and forms with simple text — the export is usually enough to edit wording without retyping. For design-heavy files, expect to reformat in Word after download.

Supported formats: PDF (text-based)
