Word ↔ PDF Converter
Convert a Word document to PDF, or pull a PDF's text into a new Word document — in your browser.
About this tool
Convert a Word document (.docx) into a print-ready PDF preview, or pull the text out of a PDF into a new, editable Word (.docx) file — all in your browser, using the open-source mammoth.js, pdf.js, and docx libraries. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Word → PDF renders your document's text and basic formatting (headings, bold/italic, lists, tables) into a preview below; use "Print / Save as PDF" to export it. PDF → Word extracts the PDF's text, grouped into paragraphs using a simple spacing heuristic, into a new .docx — it recovers readable, editable text but not the original page layout, fonts, images, or exact formatting.
Frequently asked questions
- Will Word → PDF preserve my exact formatting?
- Basic formatting comes through — headings, bold/italic, lists, tables, and paragraph structure — but complex layouts, custom fonts, headers/footers, and precise spacing may not match the original exactly. It's built for getting readable content into a PDF quickly, not pixel-perfect document conversion.
- Will PDF → Word let me edit the PDF like the original?
- No — it extracts the PDF's text into a plain, editable .docx, using the spacing between lines to guess where paragraphs break. Images, exact fonts, columns, and precise layout are not reconstructed. For scanned/image-only PDFs with no real text layer, no text can be extracted at all.
- Are my files uploaded anywhere?
- No — both directions run entirely on your device, using open-source JavaScript libraries loaded into your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
- Why did it take a moment before anything happened?
- The conversion libraries (a few megabytes) are only downloaded the first time you use a given direction, not when the page first loads — this keeps the page itself fast, at the cost of a short delay the first time you convert.
