Extract the text content from any PDF and download it as a .doc file you can open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. Powered by PDF.js running entirely in your browser.
Converting a PDF to Word usually means one of two things: extract the editable text content, or convert the layout and styling. Real layout-preserving conversion requires either Adobe Acrobat (paid) or commercial OCR. A simpler text-extraction approach gets you the readable content — perfect for editing, summarising, or pasting into other documents — without paying for Acrobat.
Choose your PDF. The tool loads PDF.js from a CDN, parses the document page by page, and extracts the text content of each page using the embedded text layer (no OCR needed for text-based PDFs). The combined text is wrapped in a .doc-compatible HTML envelope and downloaded as filename.doc.
Use it when you need to edit a PDF in Word, when extracting text for summarisation or translation, when copying text from a PDF that disables right-click, when archiving the readable content of a PDF for full-text search, or when feeding PDF content into a writing assistant.
This tool works on text-based PDFs (most modern PDFs). For scanned image-based PDFs, you need OCR first — use the OCR tool on the SEO Tools page. For high-fidelity layout conversion (preserving fonts, columns, images), Adobe Acrobat is still the gold standard.
No — this is text extraction only. For full layout conversion use Adobe Acrobat or commercial converters.
Only if the PDF has an OCR text layer. For pure image PDFs run OCR first.
.doc with HTML content opens cleanly in Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice. Real .docx requires a more complex library.
