PDF to Word
Extract text from a PDF into an editable Word document.
This tool extracts text content from your PDF and rebuilds it as a Word document with basic heading/paragraph structure. It works best on text-based PDFs (reports, articles, contracts). Complex layouts like multi-column pages, tables, or scanned/image-only PDFs won't convert perfectly — for scanned documents, try our Image to Text (OCR) tool instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this preserve my exact PDF layout?expand_more
No — this tool focuses on recovering readable, editable text content and basic structure (headings vs. paragraphs), not pixel-perfect layout. Multi-column pages, tables and precise positioning are not reconstructed. For simple, single-column text documents the results are clean and immediately editable.
Why does it say "no selectable text was found"?expand_more
This means your PDF is likely a scanned image rather than real text — common for scanned contracts or old documents. Use our Image to Text (OCR) tool instead, which reads text from images.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?expand_more
No. Text extraction and the .docx file generation both happen locally in your browser. The PDF rendering engine itself is loaded from a public CDN, but your file is never transmitted anywhere.
