About this tool
Two ways to convert: 'Convert to Word (real formatting)' sends the PDF to a real conversion service that rebuilds fonts, layout and images into an editable .docx — the file briefly leaves your browser to do this. 'Quick convert' extracts just the text entirely offline, right in your browser, into a simpler .doc file with no upload at all.
Key Features
- Real formatting option: fonts, layout, images preserved (.docx)
- Offline option: text-only, 100% private, no upload (.doc)
- Automatic page breaks either way
- Choose the trade-off that matters for your file
How to Use
- Drop or select a PDF.
- Pick 'real formatting' for a faithful copy, or 'quick convert' to keep everything offline.
- Download the result.
Benefits
- Get an accurate, editable Word doc when layout matters
- Or stay fully offline when privacy matters more than formatting
- No account or software needed either way
Frequently Asked Questions
'Convert to Word (real formatting)' uploads the PDF to a conversion service that rebuilds the actual layout, fonts and images into an editable .docx. 'Quick convert' never uploads anything — it extracts the text only, entirely in your browser, into a simpler .doc file. Use real formatting when the layout matters; use quick convert when you'd rather nothing leave your device.
The offline 'quick convert' option needs a real text layer — for scanned image-only PDFs, use the OCR PDF / Image to Text tool first. The real-formatting option handles scanned PDFs directly, since the conversion service includes OCR.
Document language tells the OCR engine what language to expect on scanned pages — leave it on Auto-detect unless recognition looks off. Layout controls how faithfully the .docx follows the original: Flowing is easiest to edit, Exact reproduces the page pixel-for-pixel with text boxes. Password only needs filling in if your PDF is password-protected — leave it blank otherwise.
