How to convert a PDF to Word

• Click the upload box and choose your PDF (or drag and drop it in).
• Press Convert to Word — the text is extracted from your PDF right in your browser.
• Click Download Word file to save an editable document you can open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice.

Why convert a PDF to Word?

PDFs are great for sharing but hard to edit. Converting to Word lets you fix typos, update text, restructure content, and reuse material without retyping it. This tool extracts the text from your PDF into a clean, editable Word document so you can start editing immediately.

Free, private, and browser-based

The converter runs entirely in your browser using open-source PDF technology. Your files are never uploaded to a server or stored anywhere — they stay on your device, which makes this both fast and completely private. It is 100% free with no sign-up and no watermark.

Frequently asked questions

Is this PDF to Word converter free?

Yes, completely free with no registration, no watermark, and no limits.

Are my files safe?

Absolutely. Conversion happens locally in your browser, so your documents are never uploaded to or stored on our servers.

Will the formatting be perfect?

The tool focuses on extracting your text into an editable document, preserving paragraphs and reading order. Very complex layouts, tables, or multi-column designs may need minor adjustments after conversion.

Can it convert scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs are images of text rather than real text, so they cannot be converted to editable text here. A PDF with selectable text works best.
