Convert between PDF and Word without uploading your document
This converter handles text-based conversions in both directions, preserving structure — not just raw text. PDF to Word produces a genuine .docx file with headings, bold/italic runs and paragraph breaks intact. Word to PDF reads the DOCX's underlying formatting and renders matching headings, emphasis and list bullets. Both run locally — your document is parsed in your browser's memory, never sent anywhere.
PDF to Word
The converter reads your PDF page by page, groups text into lines and paragraphs by position, detects larger/bold text as headings, and builds a genuine .docx file that opens natively in Microsoft Word or Google Docs — no compatibility-mode warning. It works best on text-based PDFs — for scanned documents, run the OCR Reader first to make the text recognizable. Tables, multi-column layouts and images are not reconstructed.
Word to PDF
For DOCX files, the tool reads the document's underlying XML directly from the file's ZIP structure — including heading styles, bold/italic runs and list formatting — and rebuilds it as a paginated PDF with matching fonts and sizes. Tables, multiple columns and embedded images are not reconstructed in this lightweight, fully local conversion.
Will my document's formatting be preserved exactly?
Headings, bold/italic emphasis, paragraph breaks and list bullets are preserved in both directions. Complex visual layout — tables, multi-column pages and embedded images — is not reconstructed.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Not directly, since scanned pages have no selectable text. Run the OCR Reader tool first to extract text from the scan, then convert that text separately.
Does it support .doc files, or only .docx?
Word to PDF currently supports .docx files, since their XML-based format can be read directly in the browser without a server.
Can I edit the extracted text before saving it as Word?
The output is a standard editable Word-compatible file, so once it's downloaded you can open and edit it as normal in Word or Google Docs.
