PDF to Word

Convert a PDF into an editable Word file.

Two ways to convert:

  • High quality (exact layout) — keeps layout, tables & formatting. Your PDF is sent to a secure conversion service.
  • Standard (text only, 100% private) — extracts editable text in your browser; nothing is uploaded. Layout is not preserved.

Convert PDF to Word online — free and private

This free PDF to Word converter extracts the text from your PDF and turns it into an editable Word (.docx) document, right in your browser. It is the fastest way to grab the text out of a PDF so you can edit, reuse or rewrite it — with no sign-up, no watermark and nothing uploaded to a server.

What this tool does (and does not) do

  • Does: Pull all the readable text from a text-based PDF into a clean, editable Word file.
  • Does not: Recreate the exact page layout, columns, tables, fonts or images. That is a limitation of every free in-browser converter.
  • Best for: Normal PDFs with selectable text — reports, articles, letters and eBooks.
  • Not for: Scanned PDFs (images of text), which have no text to extract.
