Extract text from PDF files and convert to editable Word (.docx) format. Ideal for editing locked PDF content.

About this tool

Converting PDF to Word (.docx) allows you to edit document content that would otherwise be locked in PDF format. Our converter uses Mozilla's PDF.js library to extract text from each page, then generates a properly formatted Word document using the docx library. The tool handles multi-page PDFs, preserves paragraph structure, and creates a downloadable .docx file compatible with Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice. All processing happens locally in your browser for complete privacy.

How to use PDF to Word Converter

  1. Upload your PDF file by clicking the upload area.
  2. Wait for the text extraction process to complete.
  3. Preview the extracted text to verify content.
  4. Click 'Download .docx' to save the Word document.
