📄 PDF to Word Converter

This page reads the text layer of a PDF with pdf.js and rebuilds it as paragraphs in a .docx, with a page break wherever the PDF had one. Both libraries are served from this site, so the document never leaves the tab. What it does not do is copy images, tables, bold, font sizes or columns — a two-column report arrives as one column of loose lines.

Detailed User Guide

Convert PDFs to editable Word documents

The tool extracts text and layout from your PDF and produces a Word file you can edit. It works best on digitally created PDFs where text is stored as text.

Scanned documents need OCR first

If your PDF is a scanned image, there is no text to extract. Run it through the OCR tool first, then convert the resulting text to Word.

Expect some layout adjustments

Complex layouts, tables, and multi-column text may not convert perfectly. Simple, single-column documents convert most faithfully.

Local conversion keeps files private

The PDF is processed in your browser, so confidential documents are not uploaded to any server.

Review and reflow after conversion

Open the Word file and check headings, tables, and spacing. Minor cleanup is normal after any PDF-to-Word conversion.

Best results on digitally created PDFs

PDFs exported from Word, Google Docs, or InDesign keep a clean text layer that converts smoothly. A PDF that was printed to file or scanned will produce poorer results without OCR.

Tables and columns need a review pass

Multi-column layouts and complex tables are the most common sources of conversion drift. Open the Word file and quickly re-align any tables or split columns that shifted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Text content is extracted accurately. Complex layouts, embedded images, and scanned PDFs (which need OCR) are not fully preserved. For best results use text-based PDFs.
No. All processing happens locally in your browser using pdf.js. Your file never leaves your device.
A standard .docx file that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice.
Yes — real .docx text you can edit, not images.
Text and basic structure are extracted; complex layouts may simplify.
No. All processing happens locally in your browser using pdf-lib and pdf.js.
There is no hard limit. Very large PDFs (100MB+) may slow down your browser.
Because the extraction groups text by vertical position, and two columns share the same vertical positions. Each band of the page therefore becomes one line reading left column then right column, joined with no separator. A two-column academic paper comes out interleaved; there is no column detection in this build.
No. Only the text layer is read, and the DOCX is assembled from paragraphs and page breaks. Figures, logos, charts and scans are simply absent from the result. If you need them, render the pages to images and place them yourself, or use a converter that rasterises each page.
No. Every line is written as a plain text run in the default document style, so headings stop being headings. That is the real cost of a text-only conversion: the words come through faithfully, the visual hierarchy does not, and reapplying it is a manual pass with Word's style pane.
The page counts extracted characters as it goes, and when that total is zero it shows a note instead of producing a file. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is silently blank. A scan has no text layer at all, so OCR has to happen first — this page does not perform it.
Lines are rebuilt by rounding each text fragment's vertical position and joining fragments left to right on the same rounded row. That is reliable for ordinary documents and unreliable for anything with superscripts, tight ledes, or text rotated 90 degrees — a rotated sidebar can be appended to the wrong line.
