Frequently asked questions
Is this PDF to Word converter free?
Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. PDFLad converts the PDF inside your web browser using your own device, so the file is never sent anywhere.

A scanned PDF is a picture of text, so there's no text to extract. Use Exact look to bring the pages into Word as images. Text recognition (OCR) isn't available yet.
