How to pdf to word
- Choose your PDF, or drop it on the page.
- Optionally limit the extraction to certain pages, like 1-3, 7.
- Press Convert. The text of each page is read and written into a .docx.
- Scanned pages? The tool offers free OCR (French, English, Arabic) and runs it on your device.
- Download the Word document.
What comes out
The tool rebuilds the page structure from text geometry: paragraphs stay paragraphs, the centered header is centered again, section titles get their rule underneath, bullet lines become real Word lists, dates sit right-aligned behind a tab stop, and links stay clickable. The output is a genuine .docx built with the open-source docx library — open it in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs and edit away.
This is a structure-faithful conversion, and the tool says so before you convert: the exact fonts, images and multi-column flows are not reproduced pixel-perfect. What you get is the same text in the same visual shape, editable end to end.
If the PDF is a scan, the tool offers free OCR instead of giving up. The recognition runs entirely on your device with tesseract.js: French, English and Arabic models are downloaded once (about 20-30 MB) and cached in your browser, nothing is uploaded. You can also insert scanned pages as images if you prefer speed over editable text.
Limits and honest notes
Complex layouts (multi-column, tables, forms) may need small adjustments after conversion. Tables arrive as lines with rules rather than Word tables. If you need table structure, PDF to Excel detects columns by text position.
Bold and italic are kept when the PDF names its fonts; embedded fonts without names are rendered at their correct size but may lose emphasis.
OCR takes a few seconds per page and does not recover fonts, bold/italic or colours from pixels. Handwriting is not recognised. After an OCR conversion, check the reported confidence and proofread.
Password-protected PDFs are refused with a clear message: unlock first. Up to 50 MB per document. Everything runs in this tab; nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Are images and layout preserved?
Layout structure is: paragraphs, centered headers, section rules, bullets, right-aligned dates and links are rebuilt from the page geometry. Images and exact fonts are not — use PDF to JPG for images.
What about scanned pages?
The tool detects them and offers free, on-device OCR (French, English, Arabic). You can also continue without OCR, which inserts the scanned pages as images into the Word file — not editable.
Can I choose which pages?
Yes: list them in the Pages field, like 1-3, 7. Leave it empty for the whole document.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The extraction, the OCR and the .docx build all run entirely in your browser.
