Convert PDF to Word Online — Free, Private, No Upload
Need to edit text that's trapped in a PDF? Converting to Word (.docx) is the fastest way to make PDF content editable again. PeacefulPDF extracts text from your PDF and creates a properly formatted Word document — all in your browser.
Unlike Adobe Acrobat or Smallpdf, this tool doesn't upload your file anywhere. The conversion runs entirely in JavaScript using pdfjs-dist for text extraction and the docx library for Word generation. Your PDF stays on your machine throughout the process.
A note on expectations: This tool extracts text content. Complex layouts, tables, and images won't transfer perfectly — that's a limitation of browser-based conversion. For simple text-heavy documents (reports, articles, letters), it works great. For heavily designed PDFs, you may need a desktop tool.

FAQ
Will my formatting be preserved?
Basic text formatting is preserved. Complex layouts, tables, and images may not transfer. This tool works best for text-heavy documents.
Can I convert scanned PDFs to Word?
Scanned PDFs contain images, not text. Use our OCR tool first to extract text, then convert to Word.
What Word format is generated?
The output is a .docx file, compatible with Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and other word processors.
