About PDF to Word Conversion
This tool extracts text from a PDF and packages it as a Microsoft Word .docx file you can open in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, or any modern word processor. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using pdf.js for parsing and the docx library for output — no files are uploaded.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will my formatting be preserved?
- No. This tool extracts plain text only. Fonts, colors, columns, headers, footers, and tables are flattened or dropped. If you need layout preservation, the best option is to keep the PDF and edit it directly with a PDF editor.
- What about scanned PDFs?
- Scanned PDFs are images of text and contain no extractable text data. They require OCR (optical character recognition) to convert. This tool does not perform OCR — use a dedicated OCR service for scans.
- Is the conversion private?
- Yes. The PDF is processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
- Why is the output text out of order?
- PDFs store text by position, not by reading order. Multi-column or complex layouts can produce out-of-order text. Single-column documents convert cleanly.
- What is the file size limit?
- 50 MB. Very large PDFs may also be slow to process in-browser depending on your device.
