PDF ↔ Word Converter

Real, selectable-text conversion — not a screenshot embedded in a PDF, and not a fake preview. Word → PDF runs entirely in your browser. PDF → Word is processed on our conversion server — your file is handled in memory only and is never stored. Formatting is preserved on a best-effort basis — see the FAQ below for exactly what is and isn't supported.

About the PDF to Word Converter

PDF to Word Converter reconstructs your PDF's text, headings, basic formatting, tables, and embedded images into a real, editable .docx file — not a rasterized image dropped into a Word wrapper. Tables are rebuilt by reading the PDF's own drawn grid-lines (the same lines that make the table visible in the PDF itself), so the result matches the source document rather than being a guess from text spacing — see the FAQ for exactly what this does and doesn't handle.

Features

How to Use

Upload a PDF (drag and drop or browse), review the page count, then tap Convert to Word. When it finishes, download the .docx — or tap Convert another file to start over.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will tables and images be preserved?
Tables — yes: this reads the actual grid-lines the PDF itself draws for a table (the same borders you see when you view the PDF) and rebuilds them as a real, editable Word table with matching rows and columns, rather than guessing from text spacing. A table represented purely by aligned text with no visible border lines won't be detected as a table and stays as plain text — no data is lost, it just isn't put in a grid. Embedded images (logos, seals, photos) are extracted and placed in the document too.

Will this work on scanned PDFs?
No — this reads the actual text layer of a PDF. A scanned PDF that's really just a photo of a page has no text layer to extract, so there's nothing to convert. You'd need an OCR tool first.

Why might headings or bold text be misdetected?
Headings are inferred from font size relative to the rest of the document, and bold/italic from the font's internal name — both are the standard heuristics for this kind of extraction, but not every PDF-generating tool names its fonts predictably, so results can vary.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?
For Word → PDF, no — reading the document and building the PDF both happen entirely inside your browser. For PDF → Word, yes — your PDF is sent over an encrypted connection to our conversion server to build the DOCX. It's processed entirely in memory there and is never written to disk or stored; it's discarded as soon as your result is returned.
