What 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.

Features of PDF to Word

Extract text from PDFs and create editable Word documents

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.

Paragraph Preservation

Text is organized by page with proper paragraph breaks. Each page starts with a heading so you can navigate the resulting Word document easily and find content by page number.

DOCX Download

The output is a valid DOCX file that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and other word processors. Edit, format, and save the extracted text in your preferred editor.

Plain Text Option

In addition to DOCX, you can download the extracted text as a plain .txt file. This is useful for quick copying, pasting into other apps, or processing with scripts and automation tools.

100% Private & Secure

Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server. Ideal for confidential contracts, reports, and personal documents that must stay private.

No Registration Required

Use the tool without creating an account or signing in. Just open the page, drop your PDF, and convert. No watermarks, no limits, and no sign-up walls.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the PDF to Word tool

Q1. Is this PDF to Word converter free?
Yes. The tool is completely free with no limits on pages or file size. There is no account required and no watermarks on the output.
Q2. Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device, making it safe for confidential and sensitive documents.
Q3. Will the DOCX preserve the original formatting?
The tool extracts text content and organizes it by page with headings and paragraphs. Complex formatting like tables, images, and multi-column layouts are not preserved — the focus is on getting all the text into an editable Word document.
Q4. Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
No. Password-protected PDFs cannot be read by the tool. You need to unlock the PDF first (for example with our PDF Unlocker tool) and then convert the unlocked file.
Q5. What is the difference between DOCX and TXT download?
DOCX is a Word document format with headings and styled paragraphs that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice. TXT is a plain text file with no formatting, useful for quick copying or processing with scripts.
Q6. Does it work with scanned PDFs?
The tool extracts embedded text from PDF files. If your PDF is a scanned image with no embedded text layer, you will need to use an OCR tool first to recognize the text, then convert the resulting PDF.
Q7. Is there a page or file size limit?
There is no hard limit. Very large PDFs with hundreds of pages may take longer to process since everything runs in your browser. For very large files, consider splitting the PDF first.
Q8. Does it work on mobile devices?
Yes. The tool works on any modern browser including smartphones and tablets. No desktop app is needed — just open the page and select your PDF file.
