Privacy guaranteed: PDF processing happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server.
Copyright & Fair Use: Only convert PDFs you own or have explicit permission to use. This tool does not bypass DRM or remove watermarks. Converting copyrighted material without authorisation may violate copyright law. You are solely responsible for ensuring lawful use.
PDFs are great for sharing, but terrible for editing. When you need to adapt a research paper, update a CV, or extract data from a PDF table into a spreadsheet, you need an editable format. Our free PDF to Word converter turns any PDF into a fully editable .docx or .xlsx file in seconds — no subscription, no upload limit.
The converter uses PDF.js by Mozilla to read the file locally, then builds a Word or Excel document using open-source libraries. For scanned PDFs, it automatically runs OCR first — so even old, scanned documents come out as editable text.
Students use this to edit previous coursework drafts, reformat downloaded lecture slides, extract data tables from academic reports, and update old resumes saved as PDFs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this PDF to Word converter really free?
Yes — completely free. No sign-up, no watermarks, no paid tier. The converter runs entirely in your browser using open-source libraries.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes. If your PDF contains scanned images rather than a text layer, the tool automatically runs OCR (optical character recognition) to extract the text before converting.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens inside your browser. Your files are never sent to any server and are discarded when you close the tab.
What is the difference between Word and Excel output?
Word (.docx) is best for documents with paragraphs, headings, and text content. Excel (.xlsx) is best for PDFs containing tables or structured data you want to edit in a spreadsheet.
