About Convert PDF to Word

Rebuilds a PDF as a real Word document — paragraphs you can edit, headings, lists, tables, pictures and columns — right here in your browser. Most PDF-to-Word converters upload your file to a server; this one never does. Scanned pages can be read too, in English or Arabic, also on your device.

Why use this

  • Get editable paragraphs, headings, lists, tables and pictures — not a page of floating text boxes.
  • Your document is converted on your own device and never uploaded — safe for contracts, CVs and anything confidential.
  • Arabic stays right-to-left, and scanned pages can be read with text recognition (OCR) in Arabic and English.

How it works

  1. Open your PDF

    The file is read in your browser; if some pages are scanned images, you'll be asked whether to read their text.

  2. Convert

    Each page's text, pictures and layout are rebuilt as Word content, page by page.

  3. Download and edit

    Open the .docx in Word, Google Docs, Pages or LibreOffice and edit it like any document.

Common uses

  • Updating a CV or contract when you only have the PDF.
  • Reusing the text and tables of a report in a new document.
  • Turning a scanned letter into text you can edit.

Common questions

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, on your device — the PDF and the Word file never leave it. That's also why it works offline once the page has loaded.

Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?

Close, but not identical. A PDF stores where each letter sits, not paragraphs, so the layout is rebuilt rather than copied. Ordinary documents — reports, letters, CVs, papers in columns, simple tables — come across well. Fonts are matched to ones your computer has, and busy designs (overlapping text boxes, forms, merged table cells, charts drawn as shapes) may need some tidying; charts come across as pictures.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Yes. Pages that are only pictures can be read with text recognition (OCR) in English, Arabic or both, on your device. It's slower than a server — roughly 5–20 seconds a page — and the first time it downloads the recogniser (a few megabytes). Recognition is good on clean scans and weaker on photos, handwriting or faint text, so check the result. You can also keep scanned pages as pictures.

Does it handle Arabic?

Yes. Arabic paragraphs are written right-to-left in Word, with mixed Arabic and English kept in the right order, and Arabic tables keep their right-to-left column order.
