Convert PDF to Word
Get an editable .docx without your file ever leaving your browser.
100% local processing — this file will not be sent to any server.
What this conversion does and doesn't do yet
Preserved
- Text and paragraphs, with page breaks
- Headings (Heading 1, 2 and 3) and simple lists
- Bold, italic and font sizes
- Images and diagrams at roughly their original position, with the drawing's labels as editable text
Limitations
- Font, colour, alignment and margins come out as in the original; tables become real Word tables, with or without borders, and the running head and footer become a real Word header and footer
- Scanned (image-only) PDFs can be converted with OCR (optional, slower); original formatting like headings and bold isn't recovered, only the text
Files processed in this tab are never stored or shared with anyone — not even with NativePDF.

Frequently asked questions
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The entire conversion happens in your browser, in a separate process (a Web Worker), and the .docx is assembled in your own device's memory. You can check for yourself: open your browser's developer tools on the Network tab and convert a PDF — no request ever carries your file.
What is the maximum file size?
150 MB and up to 1000 pages per PDF. The conversion reads the whole document in the browser's memory; larger documents can be split into parts and converted separately.
Will the Word document look exactly like the PDF?
Font, size, colour, bold, italic, underline, alignment, indents, line spacing and the page margins are reproduced as in the original, and watermarks stay where they were. A running head and footer that repeat on every page become a real Word header and footer, with the page number as a field that renumbers itself. Tables become real Word tables, with merged cells, header shading, column alignment and the original border style; tables with no borders at all are recognised by their alignment, and a table that continues on the next page becomes one table again. Multi-column layouts come out in reading order. The section above lists exactly what is kept and what isn't yet.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Yes, with optional optical character recognition (OCR). A scanned PDF is an image with no selectable text; when we detect that, we offer to try OCR — processed in your browser, in Portuguese and/or English. It recovers the text, but not the original formatting (headings, bold). If the PDF already has selectable text, the regular conversion works right away, no OCR needed.
Does the file open in Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice?
Yes. The result is a standard .docx (Office Open XML), the same format Microsoft Word uses; Google Docs, LibreOffice and other editors open it as well.
