Convert PDF to Word Online
Pull extractable text from a PDF and download it as a Word (.docx) file. This works when the PDF already contains selectable text. It does not run OCR and does not rebuild tables, images, or the original layout.

Convert PDF text into a Word document
This PDF to Word converter extracts selectable text and places it into a DOCX file. Convert PDF to Word online here — including PDF to DOCX — on this URL. If no text can be extracted, the file contains “(No extractable text in this PDF)”. That is expected for image-only pages.
Selectable text vs a scanned PDF
A PDF with a real text layer can produce a useful Word file. A scan is just pictures of pages. Turning those images into editable text would require OCR, which this tool does not provide, so a scanned PDF will not become editable text.
Frequently Asked Questions About PDF to Word
Will every PDF become a useful Word file?
Only if the PDF has extractable text. Image-only or scanned files usually will not, because there is no OCR.
Is the original layout kept?
No. The Word file is built from extracted lines of text. Columns, tables, and images are not reconstructed.
Can I convert a scanned PDF?
Not as text. Without a text layer, the output may be empty or show that no extractable text was found.
How many PDFs can I convert?
Up to 4 files, 25 MB each.
What format do I download?
A DOCX file that opens in Microsoft Word and other programs that support that format.
What if the Word file says no extractable text?
That English sentence is expected when the PDF has no text layer. Image-only or scanned pages produce “(No extractable text in this PDF)”. This tool does not run OCR, so it cannot turn those pictures into editable text.
