Why use our PDF to Word converter

Frequently asked questions

Will the Word file be editable?

Yes. The output is a standard .docx file with selectable, editable text that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and other editors.

How much formatting is preserved?

Headings, bold, italic, font sizes, paragraphs, and lists are extracted. For PDFs exported from Word or Google Docs, heading levels (H1–H6) are also preserved. Complex layouts such as tables, images, and multi-column designs are not carried over.

Can it convert a scanned PDF?

No. This tool extracts existing digital text, so a scanned PDF (which is essentially a picture of a page) will produce an empty document. You would need OCR software to recognise text in a scan first.

Is my document uploaded to a server?

No. The text extraction happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded or stored anywhere, so it stays completely private.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. You can convert PDFs to Word in any modern browser on Android or iOS.
