Drop a PDF — text is extracted in your browser

How to use

Drop a PDF onto the upload area and the tool extracts its text, page by page, right in your browser. The extracted text appears in an editable box so you can clean it up — fix line breaks, remove headers or footers — before downloading a Word (.doc) file that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice.

This is a best-effort text conversion: it recovers the words and paragraph flow, but it does not reproduce the original's columns, images, tables or exact styling. For scanned PDFs (which are images rather than text), there's nothing to extract — you'd need OCR for those.

Because it all runs locally, your PDF never leaves your device, making it suitable for private or sensitive documents.

Examples

Reusing report text

Pull the body text out of a PDF report so you can edit and repurpose it in Word.

Quoting a document

Extract passages from a PDF without retyping them.

Cleaning up before editing

Tidy the extracted text in the box, then export a .doc to continue in your word processor.

Frequently asked questions

Will the formatting be preserved?

Only the text and paragraph breaks are recovered. Columns, images, tables and precise styling are not reproduced — it's a best-effort text extraction.

Why is no text extracted from my PDF?

The PDF is probably a scan (an image of text rather than real text). This tool reads embedded text; scanned pages need optical character recognition instead.

Is the file uploaded?

No. Extraction happens in your browser, so the PDF stays on your device.

What format is the download?

A .doc file (Word-compatible HTML) that opens in Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice.
