ConvertWarp

PDF to Word

Words and simple tables can be kept. The original layout, pictures, and fonts are not.

Word files are built with docx (MIT). Text is read with PDF.js (Apache-2.0).

About this tool

PDF to Word extracts text, and simple tables where lines look like columns, into a .docx. Pictures, fonts, headers, and the original layout are not reproduced. Scanned pages without a text layer come out empty.

This will not match a commercial server converter. ConvertWarp says that in the UI. Use PDF to JPG if you needed a picture of the page instead of editable words.

PDF.js reads text locally (up to 100 pages, 50 MB). A DOCX is built with the docx library in the browser. Encrypted PDFs are not opened.

How to convert PDF to Word

  1. Choose a PDF with a text layer. It stays on your device.
  2. Convert. Skim the DOCX — expect a reflow.
  3. Download the Word file.

50 MB, 100 pages. No OCR. No layout clone. Password-protected inputs refused.

FAQ

Does extracting words into DOCX send the PDF away?
No. Text extract and DOCX build are local.
Why is my scan empty?
There is no OCR. Rasterize with PDF to JPG or run OCR in another app you trust.
Tables?
Lines that look like columns can become a table. Fancy ruled forms often will not.
Tracked changes in the PDF?
PDFs do not carry Word revisions. You get extracted text.
Can I convert back losslessly?
No. Word to PDF is also a reflow. Neither direction is a print replica.
