Will formatting match the PDF?

Not in this MVP — you get editable text and page breaks, not full layout reconstruction.

Does this work on scanned PDFs?

Only if the scan already has a selectable text layer. True OCR is planned separately.

Yes — OCR for image PDFs is planned as a Pro/Premium capability, not part of this text-extraction MVP.

Convert PDF to Word Online — Extract Text to DOCX

Privacy

For supported workflows, files are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded to SnapTools servers.

Overview

Pull selectable text from each PDF page into an editable Word (.docx) document with page breaks. This MVP is honest about limits: scanned PDFs need OCR, and layout is text-first.

Pair with PDF Optimize or PDF Merge when preparing packets for clients or compliance.

How it works

PDF.js extracts selectable text page by page. SnapTools writes a .docx with page breaks between pages using the docx library — all in your browser.

Scanned or image-only PDFs may return empty pages until OCR ships as a Pro feature. Layout reconstruction is planned later; this MVP is text-first.

Benefits

Quickly pull quotes, clauses, and paragraphs into Word for light editing without retyping from a static PDF.

Security & privacy

Your PDF is not uploaded for this extraction path. Avoid converting confidential scans on shared computers without clearing downloads.
