Use it for text, not layout
If you need to keep images and exact layout, this tool is not the right fit. It is built for getting the words out.

Scanned PDFs have no text
A scan is a picture of a page. If there is no real text inside, there is nothing to copy.

Frequently asked questions
Does PDF to Word keep images and formatting?
No. It copies text only. Images, tables and page layout are not kept.
Why is my Word file empty or full of gaps?
If the PDF is a scan, it is made of pictures rather than text, so there may be nothing to copy.
Can I convert a PDF to Word on my phone?
Yes. It runs in your phone browser the same way as on a computer.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The text is read inside your browser and the file stays on your device.
Which Word format do I get?
A Word document you can open in Microsoft Word and other word processors.
Is there a better option for keeping the layout?
This tool does not keep layout. For a visual copy of each page, use PDF to JPG to export the pages as images.
Is PDF to Word free to use?
Yes. PDF to Word is 100% free, with no signup, no daily limit and no paid plans.
Do I need to create an account to use PDF to Word?
No signup or login is required. Open the page and start using PDF to Word immediately.
Is it safe to use PDF to Word with private or sensitive files?
Yes. PDF to Word processes your file locally in your browser using client-side code. The file itself is never uploaded to Toolkitties' servers.
Will PDF to Word work on a large PDF?
Most PDFs process in a few seconds. Very large files (100+ MB) depend on your device's memory, since everything happens in your browser rather than on a remote server.
