Everything you need in a free PDF to Word converter

Editable Word output

Extract text from PDFs into a real .docx you can open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice.

Exact page mode

For scans and complex layouts, embed each page as an image so the Word file matches what you see.

100% browser-based

Conversion uses PDF.js and builds the DOCX on your device. Your documents stay private — nothing uploads to Focera.

Drag & drop workflow

Drop a PDF up to 25 MB (50 pages), pick a mode, convert, preview a text summary, and download in a few clicks.

How It Works

Turning a PDF into an editable Word document should be quick and private. Focera keeps the whole flow on one page — upload, choose a mode, convert, and download without an account or desktop installer.

  1. Upload your PDF. Drag and drop a file up to 25 MB (max 50 pages), or click the zone to browse from your device.
  2. Choose conversion mode. Use Editable text for documents with selectable text, or Exact pages when you need a visual match for scanned or design-heavy PDFs.
  3. Convert and download. Click Convert to Word. A .docx file is built locally and downloads automatically — preview the extracted summary in the panel.

Jump back to the PDF to Word converter anytime to process another file.

Editable Text vs Exact Pages

Editable text reads text from the PDF and rebuilds paragraphs in Word. You can copy, edit, and restyle the content. Layout may differ from the original — complex columns, tables, and graphics are flattened into flowing text.

Exact pages renders each PDF page as an image and places it in the Word document. The look stays faithful, but text inside images is not editable. Use this for scans, certificates, and design-heavy pages.

Popular Use Cases

Private by Design

Your PDF is read and converted entirely in your browser. Focera does not receive the file, store pages, or run conversion on a remote server. When you leave the page, object URLs are revoked and nothing remains on our infrastructure.
