How the PDF to Word Converter works
- Your PDF is parsed in the browser by PDF.js, the same engine Firefox uses for its built-in PDF viewer.
- Text content is extracted from each page in reading order, line by line.
- Each line becomes an editable paragraph in a new Word document, with page breaks between original PDF pages.
- The document is packaged as a standard .docx file using the docx library, ready to download and edit.
Useful tips
- Digital PDFs (exported from Word or a website) convert with the best text fidelity.
- Scanned PDFs contain images, not text — if you see a 'no text found' warning, the PDF needs OCR first.
- The output is plain editable text, so expect to re-apply fonts and styling in Word.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF sent to a server?+
No. The entire conversion runs in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server, so it is safe to convert sensitive documents.
What kind of PDFs work best?+
PDFs with real, selectable text convert cleanly — these are usually exported from Word, exported from a website, or created digitally. Scanned PDFs that are just images of pages do not contain selectable text and will show a warning.
Does it preserve images, tables and formatting?+
Text content and reading order are preserved as editable paragraphs. Complex layout elements like images, tables, columns and exact fonts are not carried over — the focus is on giving you editable text you can reformat in Word.
What file do I get?+
You get a standard .docx file that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and any modern word processor. Each PDF page becomes a page in the document.
