How to convert a PDF to Word
This tool converts a text-based PDF into an editable Word (.docx) document. Headings, paragraphs and lists are preserved so the file opens in Microsoft Word or Google Docs ready to edit. The conversion runs locally in your browser — your document is processed on your own device and never uploaded anywhere. Note: like most converters, it works with PDFs that contain real text; purely scanned images need OCR first (try our OCR Scanned PDF tool).
Select your PDF
Drag the file into the dropzone above or browse for it. Text-based PDFs — reports, letters, articles, contracts saved from Word — work best.
Let the converter do its thing
The text layer is extracted and rebuilt as an editable Word document right in your browser. There's no upload step, so conversion speed depends only on your device.
Download and edit
Save the .docx file and open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. Every heading, paragraph and list is ready to change — no retyping required.
When PDF to Word saves you time
You lost the original file
Someone sent you a PDF but you need to update it — a price list, policy document or project brief. Convert it instead of recreating it from scratch.
Reusing existing content
Pull sections from a PDF report into a new presentation, proposal or blog post without manually copying and reformatting text.
Collaborative editing
Word documents support track changes, comments and live co-authoring — converting a locked-down PDF is often the fastest way to make a document team-editable.

The converted .docx opens in Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice for further editing.

All toolsFrequently Asked Questions
Is PDF to Word conversion accurate?
It works best on text-based PDFs with simple layouts. Scanned documents, complex tables, and multi-column layouts may lose some structure, so always review the editable text before downloading.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser, so your document never leaves your device.
How can I handle a scanned PDF?
Scanned PDFs are images, so there is no text to extract directly. You would need OCR — check back soon; we're adding it.
