PDF to Word
Extract embedded PDF text into editable Word text boxes, or keep each page as an image.
Convert a PDF into a Word document using selectable text boxes positioned near the source coordinates, or a rendered page image when appearance matters more than editability. Editable mode does not reconstruct Word paragraphs, styles, tables, or complex graphics, so layout is approximate. Scanned PDFs need OCR first because image-only pages have no embedded text.
Runs on your device. This tool processes your file inside this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, so it also works offline once the page has loaded, and closing the tab discards the file from memory.

Common questions
Does it preserve the PDF layout?
Selectable text keeps the page size and approximates text positions with editable Word text boxes. It cannot reconstruct Word paragraphs, tables, styles, or complex graphics.
Can I edit the text?
Yes. Selectable text is the default. Visual page images remain available when appearance matters more than editing.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Scanned pages contain images rather than selectable source text. Use OCR PDF Pro first, or choose visual page images.
Does it upload my PDF?
No - text extraction and DOCX generation both run entirely in your browser.
Use this from your code
This tool is also a REST endpoint, so you can run it in a pipeline instead of by hand. Each call costs 4 credits and needs an API key. See the API reference for every parameter.
