Converting a PDF to Word
Download gives you a .docx file, which is the format Word has used since 2007 and which Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages all open directly. If you specifically need the older .doc format, open the .docx in Word once and save it as .doc — nothing is lost in between, because both carry the same extracted text.
Getting plain text out instead
The same extraction backs the .txt download and the copy button, so if all you want is the words — to paste somewhere, to search, to feed into something else — take the text and skip the Word file entirely. It comes out in reading order, page by page, with the line breaks the PDF actually contains.
Common Questions
Can I convert a PDF to plain text instead of Word?
Yes. The same extraction backs the .txt download and the copy button, so you can take the words on their own without producing a Word file at all.
Does this produce DOC or DOCX?
It produces .docx, the format Word has used since 2007, which Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages open directly. For the older .doc format, open the .docx in Word once and save it as .doc.
Will formatting be preserved?
Text content and paragraph structure are extracted from your PDF and placed into a clean Word document. Complex layouts like multi-column text, tables, and embedded graphics may require manual adjustment after conversion. This is a fundamental limitation of browser-based PDF processing.
Can I convert scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs contain images of text rather than actual text data, so the converter cannot extract text from them. For scanned documents, you would need OCR (optical character recognition) software first. Our tool works best with digitally created PDFs where text is selectable.
Is my data safe?
Your PDF never leaves your browser. The entire conversion process runs locally using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server, ever. Once you close the tab, the file is gone from memory.
