Why This Converter Is More Private Than Most Online Tools
Most free PDF-to-Word websites upload your document to their servers for processing, which means your files pass through third-party systems. This tool works differently: it uses in-browser technology (PDF.js for text extraction and Tesseract.js for OCR) to do everything on your own device.
No File Upload
Your PDF is processed entirely inside your browser tab — it’s never sent anywhere.
Real OCR for Scanned PDFs
Image-based and scanned documents are automatically recognized and converted to text using free, open-source OCR.
Editable Before You Download
Review and correct the extracted text right in the preview before saving your Word file.
Completely Free
No sign-up, no watermark, no page limits, and no hidden charges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this converter preserve the exact formatting of my PDF?
It preserves the text content and paragraph structure well, but complex layouts like multi-column pages, tables, and embedded images are not pixel-perfect recreated. For text-heavy documents like letters, reports, and articles, results are excellent.
Does this work on scanned PDFs and images?
Yes. If a page has no extractable text (common in scanned documents), the tool automatically runs OCR to recognize the text. You can also force OCR on every page manually.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Everything is processed locally in your browser using PDF.js and Tesseract.js — your file never leaves your device.
Can I edit the text before downloading?
Yes, the extracted text appears in an editable box so you can fix any OCR mistakes or formatting before saving the Word file.
What file format does it download as?
It downloads as a .doc file that opens directly and fully editable in Microsoft Word. You can then use “Save As” inside Word to convert it to .docx if needed.
Is there a page limit?
You can convert PDFs of any length, though very large scanned PDFs with OCR may take longer since all processing happens in your browser.
