Will the formatting be preserved?
The tool extracts text content and attempts to preserve headings and paragraph structure. 'Clean Text' mode gives you the most readable output, while 'Preserve Layout' mode tries to maintain the original spatial arrangement. Complex layouts with images, tables, and columns may not be perfectly replicated.
Can I convert specific pages?
Yes! After uploading your PDF, you'll see thumbnail previews of all pages. Click on pages to select or deselect them, or use the 'Select All' and 'Deselect All' buttons. Only the selected pages will be included in your Word document.
What applications can open the output file?
The output .docx file is compatible with Microsoft Word (2007 and later), Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, Apple Pages, WPS Office, and most modern document editors.
Is my PDF file stored or uploaded anywhere?
No! All conversion happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your PDF never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security. No files are uploaded to our servers.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
This tool works best with text-based PDFs (PDFs created from documents). Scanned PDFs (images of documents) may not yield good text extraction results. For scanned PDFs, try our PDF to Text tool which includes OCR support.
Is there a file size or page limit?
Since conversion happens in your browser, limits depend on your device's memory and processing power. Most modern devices can handle PDFs with hundreds of pages. Very large PDFs may take longer to process.
Can I use this tool for free?
Yes! PDF to Word Converter is completely free to use for both personal and commercial purposes. Free users get 5 conversions per day, while premium plans offer more or unlimited conversions.
What's the difference between Clean Text and Preserve Layout modes?
Clean Text mode extracts text in a natural reading order, producing clean and readable output. Preserve Layout mode attempts to maintain the original spatial positioning of text on the page, which is useful for documents with multi-column layouts or specific formatting.
Will images from the PDF be included in the Word document?
Currently, the tool focuses on text extraction. Images from the PDF are not transferred to the Word document. For a complete document conversion including images, consider using desktop software like Adobe Acrobat or LibreOffice.
