Get editable text out of any PDF

PDFs are designed to look identical everywhere — which also makes them frustrating to edit. This tool extracts the text of every page and rebuilds it as a Word (.docx) document you can open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice and edit freely.

It works best on text-based PDFs: reports, contracts, essays, ebooks. The text itself is preserved faithfully, page by page.

What to expect (an honest note)

This converter focuses on the text, not pixel-perfect layout: complex multi-column layouts, embedded images, and intricate tables are simplified to flowing paragraphs. For most editing jobs — reusing wording, updating a contract, quoting a report — that is exactly what you want. Scanned PDFs (photos of paper) contain no text layer, so they need OCR, which this tool does not perform.

Unlike most online converters, FileLark never uploads your files to a server. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using modern web technology, which means it works offline once the page has loaded, there are no file size queues or daily upload limits, and your images can never be stored, scanned, or leaked — they simply never leave your device.

How to convert PDF to Word

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a PDF to Word?

Drop your PDF into the box above and press Convert. The text is extracted in your browser and downloads as a .docx file you can edit in Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice.

Is this tool really free?

Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no daily limits. The site is supported by ads, and because conversions run in your browser rather than on our servers, there are no processing costs to pass on to you.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, which makes this tool safe for private photos and confidential documents.

Does it keep the original layout?

The text is preserved page by page, but complex layouts (multi-column pages, embedded images, intricate tables) are simplified into flowing paragraphs. It is built for editing and reusing the text, not for pixel-perfect reproduction.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

No — scanned documents are photographs of paper with no text layer, so they need OCR (optical character recognition), which this tool does not perform. It works on any PDF where you can select the text in a viewer.
