How to convert a PDF to Word

  1. Drop your PDF into the box above, or click to choose it.
  2. Press Convert to Word. Your browser reads the text, headings and paragraphs.
  3. Save the .docx file and open it in Word, Google Docs or Pages.

PaperSwoop rebuilds your document as clean, editable text with headings and page breaks. It works best on PDFs created on a computer, like exported reports, letters and resumes. Complex layouts, tables and images may need a little cleanup in Word.

Questions

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Not yet. Scanned pages are pictures of text, so there's no text to pull out. They need OCR (text recognition).

Can I convert several PDFs at once?

Yes, with Premium. Add as many PDFs as you like and download them together as one .zip file.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. PaperSwoop reads your files with your browser and builds the result on your device. You can even turn off your internet after the page loads and it still works.
