Will the formatting match the original PDF exactly?

It's close but not guaranteed pixel-perfect — text, basic formatting and table structure carry over well, but complex layouts with precise positioning may need minor manual cleanup in Word afterward.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Only if the PDF already has a text layer. A scanned PDF that's just an image needs OCR first — try the OCR PDF tool, then convert the result.

Are images in the PDF preserved?

Yes, embedded images carry over into the Word document in roughly their original position.

Does PDF to Word upload my files to a server?

No. PDF to Word runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

PDF was designed to look identical everywhere, not to be edited — text, tables and layout are all fixed in place, which is exactly what makes fixing a typo or updating a figure so painful. This tool reconstructs a PDF's text into an editable .docx file, rebuilding paragraphs, basic formatting and table structure as closely as the original layout allows. It works well for contracts, reports and letters that started life as text documents; PDFs that are really just scanned images of pages (no underlying text layer) will need OCR first, since there's no text to reconstruct from. Everything runs locally in your browser, so the document never leaves your device.
