Text-based PDFs work best — scanned images won't extract text

How it works

PDF.js extracts the text content from each page of your PDF, groups it into lines, and rebuilds a Word document (.docx) using the docx library — all in your browser, with no server involved.

Limitations

PDFs store content as positioned text fragments rather than semantic paragraphs, so complex layouts (columns, tables, footnotes) may not reconstruct perfectly. Scanned PDFs (image-only) produce no text output — you'd need OCR software for those. Text-based PDFs created from Word or other office apps work best.

Privacy

Your PDF is never uploaded anywhere. The entire extraction and conversion runs locally in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a PDF to Word?
Upload your PDF. The tool extracts the text from each page and packages it into a downloadable DOCX file you can open in Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice.
Will the layout look exactly like the PDF?
Text content is extracted accurately, but complex layouts, columns, and precise positioning are not preserved — PDFs don't store semantic structure. For basic text documents the result is very clean.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs are images, not text — they have no extractable text. This tool works on PDFs that were created digitally (from Word, a print driver, or exported from software).
