What gets converted
The tool reads the PDF’s text layer, joins lines back into paragraphs, marks lines set noticeably larger than the body text as Word headings (Heading 1–3) and, if you like, starts every PDF page on a new Word page. Words split by a hyphen at the end of a line are rejoined. Images, tables, multi-column layouts, fonts and colours are not reproduced or are only approximated — the goal is a clean, editable document, not a pixel-perfect copy.
Scanned PDFs need OCR
A PDF made by a scanner or a phone camera contains pictures of pages, not text. In that case the tool tells you that no selectable text was found. Convert the pages to images and run them through our image-to-text (OCR) tool instead. A quick test: if you can select and copy text in the PDF with your mouse, it will convert.
Private by design
Everything runs locally with the open-source pdf.js and docx libraries, which are downloaded only when you pick a file. Contracts, CVs, invoices and other sensitive documents are never uploaded to a server.
Tips for the best result
Single-column documents such as letters, reports, essays and theses convert best. Turn on “Keep original line breaks” for poems, addresses or lists where line structure matters; leave it off for running text so lines flow into proper paragraphs. Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.
Frequently asked questions
Is this PDF to Word converter free?
Yes — no sign-up, no limits and no watermark. The conversion runs in your browser.
Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?
No. Text, paragraphs and headings are transferred, but images, tables and complex layouts are approximated or skipped.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word?
A scanned PDF has no text layer, only images. You need OCR first — use our image-to-text tool.
Does it work with Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice?
Yes. The output is a standard .docx file that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Reading the PDF and building the .docx both happen on your device.
