PDF to Word Converter
Convert PDF files to editable Word documents. Extract selectable PDF text or use browser-based OCR for scanned PDFs.
Scanned PDF OCR runs in your browser and may be slow for large or noisy files. For best results, use clear scans.
Upload PDF file

Conversion mode
Text-based PDFs
If your PDF already contains selectable text, this tool can extract the text and export it into a Word document.
Scanned PDFs
For image-based scanned PDFs, OCR mode reads the page images and converts recognized text into a DOCX file.
Private processing
Files are processed in your browser. Your PDF is not uploaded to SmartTools servers for conversion.
Important note about OCR accuracy
Browser-based OCR is useful for quick scanned PDF text extraction, but it may not perfectly preserve formatting, tables, stamps, handwritten text, complex layouts, or noisy scans. For best results, use clean, straight, high-resolution scans.
How to use the PDF to Word converter
- Upload a PDF file.
- Choose text extraction or OCR mode.
- Review the extracted text preview.
- Download the result as a Word DOCX file.
