Extract the text from a PDF into a Word-compatible document you can edit in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. Files stay on your device.

Verified — Output opens cleanly in Microsoft Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice. Text-only — scanned PDFs need OCR.

Tools can make mistakes — please review the extracted text before sharing or using it in important documents.
Be honest about limits: this tool extracts the text of your PDF — paragraph by paragraph — into a .doc you can open in Word. Complex layouts, tables and images won't be preserved. For text-heavy PDFs (reports, ebooks, articles), it works great. For scanned PDFs you'd need OCR, which isn't included here.

Everyday uses

Common uses.

Pull the text out of a PDF so you can edit or reuse it — copy notes, refresh a resume, or quote from a report — in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. This extracts the text content, not the original page layout, images or fonts, so it works best for text-heavy PDFs.

Your PDF never leaves your device — extraction runs locally.

Good to Know

Common questions.

Why .doc and not .docx?

We export a small Word HTML file with a .doc extension — every modern Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice opens it perfectly, and the page stays tiny instead of bundling a heavy .docx library.

Why are images and tables missing?

Pure-client-side PDF→Word can't reliably rebuild complex layouts. We focus on getting the text right. If your PDF is mostly text, the result will be clean.

What about scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs are images of text, not real text. You'd need OCR for those — coming as a separate tool later.

Are my files uploaded?

No. pdf.js reads your file directly in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
