Browse FilesWhat Is PDF to Word Conversion?
PDF to Word conversion extracts text from a PDF document and places it into an editable Word (DOCX) file. Instead of working with a static, read-only PDF, you get a document you can open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice and freely edit, reformat, or extend.
This is useful when you need to update content in a PDF you received, repurpose text for another document, or simply make the content searchable and editable. The conversion preserves the text and organizes it by page so you can navigate the output easily.
Our free online tool processes your PDF entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server, which makes it safe for contracts, reports, and other sensitive files. The output DOCX uses the standard Office Open XML format and is compatible with all major word processors.
You can also download the extracted text as a plain .txt file for quick copying, scripting, or pasting into other applications.

Full Text Extraction
Every page of your PDF is parsed to extract all text content. The tool reads each text element on the page and combines them into readable paragraphs so nothing is missed.
