PDF to Word / Text
Extract text from any PDF and save as DOCX (Word) or TXT, free, in your browser
What this tool does: Extracts the text content of a PDF and saves it as a Word document or plain text file.
Limitation: Original formatting, images, and complex layouts are not preserved. Only the text is extracted. For scanned PDFs (images of pages), no text can be extracted.
Pull the Text Out of a PDF and Save It as an Editable Word Doc
EzyIMG's PDF to Word tool extracts the text content from any digital PDF and saves it as a .docx Word document or a .txt plain text file. It is ideal for anyone who needs to edit, reuse, or repurpose text from a PDF report, contract, research paper, or ebook without retyping everything from scratch. DOCX output preserves paragraph structure and opens directly in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice. TXT output is simpler and works in any text editor.
All text extraction is handled by PDF.js running entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server, a meaningful privacy advantage when working with contracts, legal documents, or confidential reports. There is no account required, no watermark, and no usage limit. Note that this tool extracts embedded text from digital PDFs; scanned PDFs (images of pages) do not contain extractable text and will produce limited results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this tool actually cost to use?
Nothing. No account, no watermark inserted into the exported document, and no limit on pages or conversions.
Does my contract or report get uploaded anywhere?
No, PDF.js extracts the text locally in your browser tab. The PDF bytes never reach a server, which matters for anything confidential.
What file types come out of this converter?
You choose between a .docx file that opens in Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice, or a plain .txt file that works in any text editor.
I converted a scanned document and got almost nothing back, why?
Scanned pages are images, not text, so PDF.js has no text layer to pull out. An OCR tool is needed first to recognize the characters in a scan before this tool can extract anything useful.
