How it works (3 steps)

1

Upload the PDF

Both text-based and scanned PDFs are accepted; scanned pages automatically use OCR.

2

Local extraction

Text and basic paragraph structure are reconstructed in your browser with visible progress.

3

Download the .docx

Open in Word or Google Docs and edit. Failed runs are refunded automatically.
