About PDF to Word conversion

Every line of text in your PDF is extracted in reading order and written into a genuine .docx file that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice. Because the conversion runs locally, contracts and statements never leave your machine.

Good to know: This is a text-focused conversion: the words come across, but complex layouts, tables and embedded images do not. Scanned PDFs (photographed pages with no text layer) have no text to extract.

Free, no account, no watermarks — and because the conversion runs in your browser, your files are never uploaded to a server.
