PDF to Word

Extract text from a PDF into an editable .docx using PDF.js. Editable result, local processing.

How to use this tool

  • Drop a PDF.
  • Click Convert.
  • Download the .docx file.
  • Open and edit in Word.

How it works

PDF.js extracts text lines and word positions from each page and the docx builder writes them as paragraphs in a Word file (Office Open XML, zipped with fflate).

Tips

  • Works best with text-based PDFs rather than scans.
  • Tables and multi-column layouts may need manual re-flow.

Limitations

Layout fidelity is approximate — the goal is editable text, not pixel-perfect recreation.

Frequently asked questions

Is the result really editable?

Yes — a real .docx is generated containing the extracted text with basic paragraph structure.

Are images included?

Text is the main output; layout and graphics are not perfectly preserved. Complex designs need checking.

Is OCR performed?

No — only embedded text is extracted. Scanned PDFs require OCR, which isn't performed here.
