Convert PDF to Word

The text of each page is read from the PDF and rebuilt as paragraphs in a Word document. It's the quickest way to reuse or edit the wording of a PDF without retyping it. Several PDFs can be converted at once.

This is a text conversion, not a layout copy. Images, columns, tables, fonts and exact positioning aren't recreated, so the DOCX won't look like the PDF. Expect clean paragraphs you can restyle, not a replica.

Scanned PDFs are a different case: if the pages are just pictures of paper, there's no text to extract. Format Hero doesn't do OCR (text recognition), so those PDFs come out empty or nearly empty.

Open it in a PDF reader and try to select a sentence. If you can highlight and copy the words, the text will convert. If the whole page selects as one picture, it's a scan, and you'll need an OCR tool first.

PDFs you want to edit are often contracts, forms and reports you'd rather not hand to a conversion service. The work happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored on a server. Once the page has loaded it keeps working offline, and it's free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
