Convert PDF to DOCX

Inside the DOCX you download

DOCX is really a ZIP of XML files, and this tool writes the smallest honest version: your PDF's embedded text, rebuilt as plain paragraphs in standard WordprocessingML. No templates, no themes, no embedded fonts — just clean, editable text that opens everywhere. If the PDF had twenty pages of article text, you get twenty pages' worth of paragraphs ready to rewrite, restyle and rearrange. The general converter page is PDF to Word converter.

From extraction to finished document

Think of the DOCX as a starting point, not a finished replica. A practical workflow: extract, skim the preview for reading-order issues (multi-column layouts are the usual culprit), download, then apply your own styles, headings and tables in Word. For simple documents — reports, essays, manuals — this takes minutes. The preview in the tool shows the first 8,000 characters so you can judge the quality before downloading. Once restyled, the document is yours: save it, track changes on it, and share it like any Word file you authored yourself.

Tables, columns and images

The three things people ask about most, answered plainly. Tables: the cell text is extracted but the grid structure is lost, so rebuild the table in Word around the recovered words. Columns: text usually reads top-to-bottom per column, but complex layouts can interleave — check the preview. Images: dropped entirely, including charts and diagrams; re-insert the important ones manually from the original PDF.

Private by design

The whole pipeline — PDF parsing with unpdf, DOCX assembly with JSZip — runs in your browser tab. Your document is never uploaded, which matters when the PDF is a resume, a contract or an unpublished manuscript. Close the tab and nothing remains. Up to 20 files per batch and 2 million characters of extracted text give you plenty of room for real workloads.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is inside the DOCX?

Plain editable paragraphs built from the PDF's embedded text, in page reading order. No images, tables-as-tables, headers, footers or styling.

Will my tables convert properly?

No. Tables collapse into plain text runs — the words survive but the grid does not. Rebuild tables manually in Word from the extracted text.

Can I use the DOCX in Google Docs?

Yes. It is a standard WordprocessingML file, so Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages all open it.

What about scanned PDFs?

Scans contain no embedded text, so there is nothing to extract. This tool does not do OCR — check that you can select text in your PDF reader first.

Are encrypted PDFs supported?

No. Password-protected PDFs are rejected; export an unlocked copy first.
