What Is This Tool?
The PDF to Word Converter extracts the selectable text from a PDF and saves it as an editable Word (.docx) file.
What Can You Do With It?
Reuse text from a PDF report. Edit content when you do not have the original document. Copy long text without manual retyping.
How Does It Work?
PDF.js reads the text layer of each page in your browser, and the docx library writes the text as paragraphs with a page break between PDF pages.
Key Benefits
Fast text extraction. Creates a standard .docx file.
Limitations and Important Notes
Only text is extracted. Layout, fonts, tables and images are not kept. Scanned PDFs have no text layer and need OCR, which this tool does not do.
Privacy and Security
Files are processed inside your browser on your own device. They are not uploaded to Usekit servers, and the result is created locally for you to download.
Real-World Example
A 3-page PDF article becomes article.docx with its text in paragraphs and a page break after each original page. A scanned image PDF shows a message that no selectable text was found.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the formatting different?
The tool extracts text only, so original layout is not recreated.
Can it convert scanned PDFs?
No. Scanned pages are images and need OCR.
Will images be included?
No, only text.
