UPDF
UPDF is an AI-assisted PDF editor with built-in OCR and chat-with-PDF, useful for edits our free tool can't handle.
We focus on common cases; UPDF adds an AI layer for asking questions about the document content.
Convert a PDF into an editable .docx Word document — paragraphs, headings, bold runs, page breaks, and embedded images are preserved. Runs entirely in your browser.
Best for PDFs with selectable text (not scanned images). For scanned PDFs, use our OCR PDF tool first. Complex layouts (multi-column, text boxes) may shift slightly — manual cleanup in Word may be needed.

All processing happens locally in your browser. Your file is never uploaded.
Convert any PDF to an editable Word document without uploading it. Our browser-side converter extracts text, tables, and structure using pdfjs-dist then rebuilds a .docx file locally — your PDF never leaves your device. Free, no sign-up, no daily limits, no watermarks.

Open our PDF to Word tool, drop your PDF in, choose 'Editable Text' mode, and click 'Convert'. Within seconds you get a .docx file you can open in Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice. No upload required, no sign-up, no watermarks, no daily limits.
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using pdfjs-dist (for extraction) and the docx library (for .docx building). Your PDF and resulting Word file stay on your device the entire time. Ideal for confidential contracts, financial reports, and personal documents.
For text-based PDFs with standard layouts, we preserve headings, paragraphs, lists, and basic tables. Bold/italic/underline is preserved best-effort. For complex designed PDFs (multi-column, image-heavy, custom typography), fidelity is reduced — for those, our 'Visual Fidelity' mode renders each page as a high-DPI image inside Word.
Scanned PDFs are first OCR'd via Tesseract.js (built into our pipeline), then the recognized text is wrapped into a .docx file. Accuracy depends on scan quality — clean 300 DPI scans achieve 95%+ text recognition. For best results, use high-resolution scans with clear printed text.
Yes — we output a standards-compliant .docx file. It opens correctly in Microsoft Word 2007+, Office 365, Google Docs, Apple Pages (with conversion), and LibreOffice Writer. You can edit, add comments, change formatting, and save back to .docx or .pdf.
Yes — drop several PDFs into the tool. Each is converted separately and you get a ZIP of .docx files. The conversion is sequential to keep your browser responsive on large batches.
