PDF to Word (DOCX)
How to use
Pulls the text out of a PDF and rebuilds it as an editable Word DOCX file, so you can fix typos, reuse content or reformat it without retyping anything. Upload your PDF, wait a few seconds while it converts, then download the DOCX file straight to your device.
Select a PDF to convert
Text-only conversion, layout and images are not preserved
Why use this tool
- Pulls the text of every page into a .docx file you can edit in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice instead of retyping it.
- Each page is marked with a heading, so you can find your place against the original.
- Honest about its limits: it recovers text, not layout or images, and a scanned PDF needs OCR first.
- Updating an old contract or resume when the original Word file has been lost
- Turning a PDF report into an editable draft for revisions or reuse
- Repurposing text from a PDF brochure into a new document
- Converting a received PDF form into an editable outline before filling it out in Word
Free and private. Everything runs on your own device, with no account and no uploads.
PDF to Word extracts readable text from a PDF and converts it into an editable DOCX file, saving you from retyping a contract, resume, or report that only exists as a PDF. It is especially useful for professionals who need to update an old document but no longer have the original source file. Conversion happens locally in the browser, so confidential resumes or agreements are never uploaded anywhere during the process.
Basic text flow is preserved, but complex layouts, columns, and precise font styling may not match the original PDF exactly.
No, this tool extracts existing text layers; for scanned or image-only PDFs use the PDF OCR tool first.
Yes, any mobile Word-compatible app can open the resulting DOCX file for editing.
This tool focuses on text extraction, so embedded images may not carry over into the DOCX output.
Text is extracted in reading order as best as possible, but multi-column layouts can sometimes come out slightly reordered.
