Text-based PDFs only · max ~20 MB
ℹ️ What this tool does — and doesn't
- ✅ Extracts text from standard text-based PDFs and generates a real .docx file
- ✅ Basic heading detection (short lines → bold heading style in Word)
- ❌ Cannot preserve complex layouts, multi-column text, images, or tables
- ❌ Scanned PDFs (image-only) have no text layer — use Adobe Acrobat or Google Drive OCR
For perfect PDF→DOCX conversion with full layout fidelity, a server-side library (e.g. LibreOffice, Aspose) is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this generate a real Word (.docx) file?
Yes. The output is a real Open XML .docx file you can open and edit in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice.
Is my PDF uploaded to your servers?
No. Your PDF is read entirely in your browser. No data is ever sent to our servers.
Will the .docx preserve the original layout?
Basic structure is preserved: paragraphs and short lines are detected as headings. However, complex layouts (multi-column, tables, images, custom fonts) cannot be reconstructed from PDF without server-side processing.
Can I convert scanned PDFs?
No. Scanned PDFs are images and contain no text layer. They require OCR software like Adobe Acrobat or Google Drive's built-in OCR.
What PDF types work best?
Standard text-based PDFs created from Word, InDesign, or any PDF-generating software. PDFs with embedded text layers will extract with high fidelity.
