Convert PDF to Word
Turn a PDF into an editable document for Word (.docx) or OpenOffice and LibreOffice (.odt), then download it. The conversion runs in your browser: no file is uploaded.
🔒 Your PDF never leaves your computer. Free, no sign-up, no limits, no watermark.
Drag pages to reorder them (or use the arrows), rotate ↻, duplicate ⧉, insert a blank page ＋ or delete ×. Images become A4 pages.
Click the thumbnails to pick pages, or type them: “1-3, 5, 8-end”.
The text is rebuilt into editable paragraphs (fonts, bold, italics, underline, colours, headings, lists, links, images, tables). Multi-level formulas (fractions, sums, integrals, systems, matrices) become equations, LaTeX code or images. Vector drawings are not carried over. A scanned PDF has no text to extract: its pages are inserted as images.
How to convert a PDF to Word?
- Drop one or more PDFs above (drag and drop or “choose them”).
- Choose the format: Word (.docx), which also opens in LibreOffice, Google Docs and Pages, or OpenDocument (.odt), the open format of OpenOffice and LibreOffice.
- Adjust the options if needed: remove repeated headers, footers and page numbers, keep a page break between pages, include images.
- Click “Convert”, then download the document (or all documents at once, as a .zip).
What is kept
- Text as real paragraphs: the PDF's line breaks disappear and words hyphenated at the end of a line are joined back together.
- Formatting: font, size, bold, italics, underline, colours, superscripts and subscripts, alignment, indents and line spacing.
- Structure: headings detected from their size (usable in Word's navigation pane), bulleted lists, columns put back in reading order.
- Mathematical formulas as editable Word equations (MathML in .odt), including those of PDFs made with LaTeX or MathType.
- Images, links and page format (A4, landscape…).
Frequently asked questions
Can a scanned PDF be converted?
A scanned PDF only contains pictures of the pages, with no text. Without character recognition (OCR), the tool cannot extract the text: each page is inserted as an image in the document.
Are tables and formulas carried over?
Tables become tab-aligned text, one row per paragraph: Word's “Convert Text to Table” command turns them back into a real table. Multi-level formulas (fractions, sums, integrals, limits, systems, matrices) become real, editable Word equations; those the tool cannot recognise reliably are inserted as images, identical to the PDF. An option turns all formulas into images.
Why is the layout not identical to the PDF?
A PDF fixes the position of every character, whereas a Word document lets text flow. The tool favours a document that is easy to edit over a pixel-perfect copy: lines may break in different places, especially if a font used in the PDF is not installed on your computer.
Are my files sent to a server?
No. The PDF is read by pdf.js and the document is written by your browser: nothing leaves your computer. Once the page has loaded, conversion works even offline.
