## About

Turn a PDF into a Word (.docx) file you can actually edit — text extracted with paragraph structure, assembled locally in your browser, no upload.

## Quick answer

How do I convert PDF to Word? Choose your PDF, press Convert to Word, and download the .docx. The text is read locally with paragraphs and page breaks; nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.

## How to convert a PDF to Word

1. **Choose the PDF** — the page count is detected in your browser.
2. **Convert** — each page's text is read line by line and rebuilt as paragraphs.
3. **Download the .docx** — open it in Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice and edit.

## What converts well (and what does not)

- **Great:** reports, contracts, articles, letters — anything mostly made of text.
- **OK:** simple lists and headings; they arrive as plain paragraphs you can restyle.
- **Not supported:** scanned pages (no text layer), complex tables, multi-column magazine layouts, and images.

## Good to know

The DOCX format is a small package of XML files — this tool assembles it entirely on your device, which is why nothing needs to be uploaded. If the PDF is a scan, convert it with [PDF to JPG](https://toolpantry.app/pdf-to-jpg.html) to see the pages as images, or copy the text manually. Related: [PDF to text](https://toolpantry.app/pdf-to-text.html) for plain text and [Merge PDF](https://toolpantry.app/merge-pdf.html) to combine documents first.

## Notes

The output is text-focused: paragraphs and page breaks come through, but fonts, columns, tables, and images do not. It is the right tool for editing the words in a PDF — for preserving a complex design, use a desktop converter.

## FAQ

**Does the Word file keep the original layout?**

It keeps the text with paragraph structure, but not the visual layout: fonts, columns, tables, images, and headers are not reproduced. The result is a clean editable document you can reformat in Word — ideal for editing text rather than preserving a design.

**Can it convert a scanned PDF?**

No. Scanned PDFs are photos of pages with no text layer, so there is nothing to extract — they need OCR, which this tool does not do. The tool tells you when it finds no text.

**Is my PDF uploaded?**

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser: the PDF is read locally and the DOCX is assembled on your device.
