About the PDF to Word Converter

Extract selectable text from a PDF and save it into a new editable DOCX document, with browser-side processing.

Formula or method

PDF.js extracts text items from each page. The tool collects approximate lines and creates Word paragraphs in a new DOCX file.

Worked example

Upload a ten-page text report and download the text in a Word document for further editing.

How to use the tool

  1. Choose a PDF that contains selectable text or try the provided sample; scans need OCR elsewhere.
  2. Choose Convert PDF to Word and check each file's success/error status.
  3. Download the DOCX, open it in an editor, and compare paragraphs, headings and numbers against the original PDF.

Common uses

Everyday documents, school and office tasks, productivity and file conversion.

When this tool is useful

Extract selectable text from a PDF into an editable Word document without uploading it.

What to check before relying on the result

This is text extraction without OCR, not pixel-perfect conversion: graphics, columns, tables and image-only text are not reconstructed.

Assumptions and limitations

Does not perform OCR on scanned PDFs. Tables, columns, images, graphics and original formatting are not reconstructed faithfully. Limit: 20 MB and 50 pages.

Frequently asked questions

Can a scanned PDF be converted to editable text?

Not here. Scanned/image PDFs require OCR, which this tool does not implement.

Why is my converted Word document missing text?

If the PDF is a scan or its text is embedded as images, this tool cannot read it because it does not include OCR.
