What is the PDF to Word?
The PDF to Word tool extracts the text of a PDF and packages it into an editable .docx you can open in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. Text is extracted page by page with line-position-aware ordering so paragraphs read naturally.
The output prioritises text fidelity over pixel-perfect layout: tables, columns and images are approximated. For scanned PDFs, run OCR first with the Image to Text tool.

Important notes
- Conversion works best on text-based PDFs. Scanned or image-only PDFs have no selectable text, so little or nothing will be extracted without OCR.
- Complex layouts (multi-column pages, tables, custom fonts) may not carry over perfectly and can need light cleanup in Word.
- Conversion runs in your browser — your file is not uploaded.
