Recovers the text of a PDF as a real Word document: paragraphs rejoined, headings detected from their size, bold and italic runs preserved, and page breaks where the PDF had them. Best on documents that were born digital — for a scan, run OCR first and convert the result.
This takes a second on the first visit, then it is cached.
Drop in the PDF.
Convert.
Open the .docx in Word, Pages or Google Docs and edit away.
No, and no converter’s does. PDF stores positioned glyphs, not a document model, so the conversion rebuilds a sensible Word document from what is there: flowing paragraphs, headings, emphasis and page breaks. Multi-column layouts and heavy graphic design will be simplified.
A scan is a picture of text with no text layer to recover. Run OCR PDF first — it reads the pages and writes a real text layer — then convert that.
No. PDF to Word runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly and the Canvas API — the bytes of your document never travel to us. The only thing that reaches our servers is a counter incrementing by one, and whatever you deliberately choose to save to your library.
Not this one. PDF to Word is part of Baker, at $10 a month — along with the other conversion, compression and security tools, and the AI ones. Signing, editing, watermarking, merging, splitting, rotating, organising and cropping are free, three documents a day up to ten pages each, with no account.
