PDF to Office Converter
Turn a PDF into an editable Word document (.rtf) or Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx) by recovering its text layer in your browser. Best for text-based PDFs; nothing is ever uploaded.
Pick a format, drop a PDF, and the editable file downloads to your device. Works on PDFs that have a real text layer (not image-only scans).
How it works
The PDF's text layer is read with Mozilla's PDF.js engine. For Word it is written to an RTF file that Word, Pages and LibreOffice open natively; for Excel the lines are split into columns on tab and multi-space gaps and saved as a real .xlsx workbook with SheetJS.
This recovers text, not exact page layout, fonts, images and precise positioning are not reproduced, and image-only scans (no text layer) need OCR first. Keep your original. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is ever uploaded.
What this does
A PDF to Office converter recovers a PDF’s text into an editable Word (.rtf) or Excel (.xlsx) file.
How to use it
- Open a text-based PDF.
- Choose Word or Excel output.
- Convert the file.
- Download and edit it.
How it works
The text layer is recovered in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. It restores text, not the exact page design — fonts, images, and positioning are not reproduced.
Example
A text invoice becomes an editable .xlsx of rows.

Frequently asked questions
Will the layout match the original exactly?
No. This recovers the text, not the exact page design, fonts, images and precise positioning are not reproduced. For Word it produces an RTF file that Word, Pages and LibreOffice open natively; for Excel it splits lines into columns on tab and multi-space gaps.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Only if the PDF has a real text layer. Image-only scans contain no selectable text, so they need OCR first, which this tool does not perform.
Why is the Word file an .rtf and not a .docx?
RTF is a fully editable Word format that opens directly in Word, Pages and LibreOffice, and it can be generated reliably in the browser without uploading your file. Save it as .docx from your editor if you need that extension.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Everything is calculated locally in your browser.
