About this tool
Drop a PDF and get a .docx file that opens in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs: the text of each page becomes editable paragraphs with bold and italic, headings are detected from their size, embedded images are carried over and each PDF page stays a Word page. The exact layout (columns, positions, fonts) is not reproduced: the goal is to let you reuse and edit the content, not to clone the PDF.
How to use this tool
- 1Drop your PDF (a password is requested if the document is protected).
- 2Choose whether each PDF page should stay a Word page and whether images should be carried over.
- 3Create the Word document and download it; open it in Word or LibreOffice to edit it.
Limits to know
- Text is carried over as successive paragraphs: columns, boxes, tables and exact positions are not rebuilt (table cells become plain text).
- The original fonts are not carried over (Word applies its own); bold, italic, size and headings are estimated from the PDF.
- Scanned PDFs without a text layer only yield their images: run text recognition (OCR) first to get editable text.
- Vector drawings, forms, annotations, links and signatures are not converted; JPEG 2000, CCITT and JBIG2 images are skipped.
- Right-to-left or vertical documents (Arabic, Hebrew, vertical Japanese) may come out in the wrong order.
- Accepted formats
- Maximum size
- 100 MB
Privacy and file processing
Your file is read and transformed directly in your browser using open source libraries (pdf.js and pdf-lib). It is never uploaded to our servers, stored or analyzed.
Read our privacy policyFrequently asked questions
A PDF describes character positions, not a document structure. The tool rebuilds paragraphs from those positions, which is enough to reuse and edit the text, but not to clone a complex layout (newspaper columns, forms). Converters that promise a perfect copy generally upload your file to their servers.
A scan contains no text, only an image. Use the "OCR" tool first to create a PDF with a text layer, then convert that PDF to Word.
No. pdf.js reads the PDF and the docx library writes the Word document, both in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or kept.
