PDF to Word

Convert PDF files into editable Word documents (.docx)

100% in-browser — your files are never sent to a server
Files are processed only inside your browser
No file is ever uploaded to or stored on a server
All data disappears when you close the browser after you're done

Before you convert

  • PDFs are designed for "display", so a perfect conversion isn’t always possible
  • Complex layouts, special fonts, and multi-column designs may come out differently
  • Scanned documents (image-only PDFs) can’t have their text extracted

When you need to change the contents of a PDF but no longer have the original document, converting the PDF to Word (.docx) lets you edit the text freely. This tool analyzes the PDF's text and layout and produces a file you can open in Word and start editing right away.

You can toggle options like including images, detecting tables, and preserving layout positions (experimental), so you can tailor the conversion to the type of document. Once it's done, a quality summary shows the text extraction rate, the number of images extracted, and the number of tables detected, making it easy to gauge the result. PDFs up to 200MB are supported.

The conversion happens entirely inside your browser. Sensitive documents like resumes, contracts, and reports never pass through an external server, so you can convert them without security worries.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Select a PDF file

    Load the single PDF you want to convert. Files up to 200MB are supported.

  2. 2

    Run the conversion

    Click the convert button and your browser analyzes the text and layout to generate a DOCX. Depending on length, it takes a few seconds to a few dozen seconds.

  3. 3

    Download & edit

    Download the finished .docx file and open it in Word, Hancom Office, Google Docs, and similar apps to edit.

When It's Useful

Edit a document with no original

Bring a report or proposal whose source file is gone back into Word, fix the wording, and save it again.

Reuse resumes & forms

Turn a resume or template that only survives as a PDF into Word so you can rewrite it by simply swapping the content.

Move table data

Turn on table detection to bring regular tables across as Word tables, making them easy to organize and edit.

Re-edit or excerpt content

Pull a section out of a long PDF, paste it into another document, and polish it.

Tips

  • After converting, skim the result in Word to check the formatting carried over as intended, then tidy up the headings and tables for a more polished file.
  • For table-heavy documents, turn on the 'Detect tables' option. It's especially effective on tables with a regular column structure.
  • If images matter, try the 'Include images' option; if you want to keep their positions, try 'Preserve layout positions (experimental)'.
  • Scanned PDFs (documents made of photos) have no text data, so the result can look empty. If a scanned-document warning appears on upload, it means the output may be empty or low quality.
  • If you only need a few pages, extract them with 'Split PDF' first and then convert — it's faster.
  • For complex, design-heavy documents, it's more realistic to use this for 'recovering the text' than for a perfect reproduction.

FAQ

Is the formatting and layout preserved exactly?

Paragraphs, headings, and basic layout are preserved as much as possible, but complex tables and design elements may differ somewhat from the original. We recommend a light cleanup in Word after converting.

What conversion options are there?

You can toggle three options — include images, detect tables, and preserve layout positions (experimental) — to suit the type of document.

Can I preview the conversion quality?

When the conversion finishes, a quality summary shows the text extraction rate (%), the number of images extracted, and the number of tables detected, so you can gauge the result.

Can scanned PDFs be converted?

Scanned files are images rather than text, so characters can't be extracted. If a scanned document is detected on upload, a warning is shown. This tool is best suited to text-based PDFs whose characters can be selected and copied.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The entire conversion runs in your browser, and your document is never sent anywhere.

Which programs can open the converted file?

It's standard .docx, so you can open it in Microsoft Word as well as Hancom Office, LibreOffice, and Google Docs.

Does it handle Korean (non-Latin) documents well?

Yes. Korean text extraction is supported. Note that documents using special fonts may have those fonts replaced with a default one.

Is there a limit on the file size I can upload?

You can convert PDFs up to 200MB per file.
