Does my file get uploaded?

No — and this is rare. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, on your own device. Your PDF never leaves your computer and never reaches a server; it even works with your connection switched off.

How faithful is the result?

It reconstructs the document's text into an editable Word file: paragraphs in reading order, headings detected by size, and bold preserved. It is not a pixel-perfect layout copy — complex tables, multi-column layouts, and embedded images are not rebuilt. For a faithful visual copy of each page, use PDF to JPG or PDF to PNG instead.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Only if the scan has a text layer. This tool reconstructs the text already embedded in a PDF. A pure scan is an image with no text, so there is nothing to convert — you'll be told that clearly rather than handed a blank document, and pointed to our OCR PDF tool, which reads text from scans in your browser first.

A standard .docx that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and Pages — ready to edit. The document is built in your browser from the PDF's own text.
