Convert a PDF to an editable Word file free — extract text into a .doc you can open and edit in Word or Google Docs. Private, in your browser.
About the PDF to Word Converter
Get the text out of a PDF and into an editable Word document. The tool reads the PDF's text layer with pdf.js, reconstructs the paragraphs, and packages them as a Word-compatible .doc file that opens straight into Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice — ready to edit.
It is the fast way to reuse the wording of a report or letter without retyping it. Because it reads the embedded text layer, extraction is accurate and instant for digitally created PDFs.
This recovers text and paragraph breaks, but not the original fonts, images, columns or exact page layout — a faithful visual conversion needs dedicated desktop software. Scanned PDFs are images of text with no text layer, so run OCR first. Everything happens in your browser with no upload.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Word file look exactly like my PDF?
No. It recovers the text and paragraph structure into an editable document, but not the original fonts, images, columns or precise layout. For a layout-faithful conversion, use dedicated desktop software such as Acrobat.
Why is the download a .doc rather than .docx?
The tool produces a Word-compatible .doc that opens and edits cleanly in Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice without needing a heavy document-writing library in the browser. You can re-save it as .docx from your editor if you prefer.
My PDF converted to an empty document — why?
It is almost certainly a scan — an image of text with no underlying text layer to extract. Run it through an OCR PDF tool first to add a text layer, then convert again.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The text is extracted entirely in your browser with pdf.js, so your file never leaves your device.
