- Select Convert to Word.
- Download the .docx file.
How this works
Your browser extracts each page's text along with its position, reconstructs paragraphs using the gaps between lines, and writes a real .docx file — no file is uploaded, and no server-side processing is involved.
A note on scope
PDF has no structural markup — no tool, including this one, can perfectly recover the original document's exact formatting, tables, or layout. This produces a genuinely editable, best-effort text reconstruction, which works well for simple text documents and less well for complex multi-column or heavily designed layouts.
Common use cases
- Turn a simple text PDF into an editable Word draft
- Get a rough draft you can edit instead of retyping a PDF
- Extract a PDF's text into Word for further editing
Frequently asked questions
Is this PDF to Word converter free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no signup and no limits.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to Inqita or stored.
Will the formatting look exactly like the original PDF?
Not exactly — paragraphs are reconstructed heuristically since PDF doesn't store structural information. Simple text documents convert well; complex layouts, tables, and multi-column pages will need manual cleanup.
Does this work on scanned PDFs?
No — scanned/image-only PDFs have no extractable text. This tool converts real text content, not images of text.
