This extracts the text from your PDF into an editable Word (.docx) file. Layout, images, columns and tables are not preserved — you get clean, editable text. For scanned PDFs there is no text to extract.
How to Convert a PDF to Word
Three steps, all in your browser.
Add your PDF
Drag in a PDF, or click the box to browse. The file stays on your device — it is read locally with the same engine Firefox uses to display PDFs, so nothing is uploaded.
Extract the text
Every page is read and its text is grouped into paragraphs by line position. If the PDF is a scan with no text layer, you will be told plainly instead of getting an empty file.
Build and download
Click Build .docx and a real Word document is assembled from the extracted paragraphs, right in your browser. Download it and open it in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice — text-only, ready to edit. Need the text alone? Use the PDF to Text converter.
What survives the conversion, and what does not, is covered in what transfers from PDF to Word. For plain text use PDF to Text; for a scanned PDF run OCR PDF first.
