Frequently asked questions

Is this PDF to Word tool free?

Yes — completely free with no sign-up and no watermark on the result.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. The text is extracted and the Word file is built entirely in your browser — the PDF never leaves your device.

Will the Word file look exactly like my PDF?

No — and that's on purpose. Converting a PDF to Word in the browser recovers the text and paragraphs into an editable document, but it doesn't reproduce the exact layout, columns, fonts or images. It's meant for getting the words out so you can edit them, not for a pixel-perfect copy.

It says no text was found — why?

Your PDF is probably a scan or photo with no text layer. Run it through the OCR PDF tool first to add a searchable text layer, then convert it here.

What can I open the .docx file with?

Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, Pages — any modern word processor.
