About the PDF to Word tool
You received a PDF and need to edit its text — fix a number, update a paragraph, or reuse its content in a new document. Manual copy-paste mangles formatting and wastes time, while this tool extracts the file's full text into an editable Word (DOCX) document in seconds, preserving paragraph breaks and line structure.
Set realistic expectations: this tool extracts text, not design — complex tables, multi-column layouts, and images don't carry over as-is, because faithfully reconstructing PDF design in Word is a problem no free tool honestly solves. If your file is scanned (images with no text layer), run it through the OCR tool first to pull text out of the images. As always, extraction happens in your browser with no upload.

Frequently asked questions
Does it preserve the original PDF's formatting?+
The tool extracts text only, without complex formatting like advanced tables and columns; great for quickly editing text, but not a full replacement for the original Word layout.
Does it work with scanned PDF files?+
No, this tool needs an actual text layer inside the PDF. For scanned (image-only) files, use the OCR tool first.
