Convert text-based and scanned PDFs into editable Word documents (.docx), while keeping layout and formatting.
We care about privacy. Our PDF converter secures your files with 256-bit SSL Encryption, and the data you submit won’t be shared with or accessed by any other parties.
There is no need to install a program or download an app. CamScanner works online with any web-browser. All you need is a stable internet connection.
We have many servers in the cloud which do nothing else than converting PDF to Word files. So, lean back and let them do the work.
Scanned PDFs and photographed documents have no selectable text. CamScanner's OCR reads the characters off the page and rebuilds them as editable content you can type over.
The converter detects paragraphs, images, and table structures rather than dumping everything into one text block. Multi-column layouts, headers, and tables keep their shape in Word.
Output is a plain .docx — it opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, WPS, LibreOffice, and Pages. Nothing proprietary, nothing that needs CamScanner to open.
Works in your browser on any device — nothing to install.
Drag and drop the file, pick it from your device, or import it from your CamScanner account.
CamScanner processes the file and rebuilds the layout in Word format.
Save the .docx to your device and start editing

Tired of slow, tedious work organizing paper worksheets and PDF lesson plans? CamScanner makes lesson prep easy. Import your own teaching materials or publicly licensed content, then scan and quickly convert them into editable Word files so you can organize class content and add key explanations. You can also highlight core concepts directly and add notes to flag common mistakes, making your key points clear at a glance.
Copying text often produces garbled characters, and retyping it by hand is slow and error-prone. With PDF to Word, you can extract and edit the original content in one tap, keeping your paper error-free and making graduation easier.
Teacher
Most of the lesson plans I find online are PDFs, so I can't edit them directly. A colleague recommended CamScanner, which lets me convert PDFs to Word. Adding charts, revising sample problems, and reordering content are all easy, and the layout rarely gets messed up. I can also upload students' answers and show typical mistakes right during review, which has made lesson prep much more efficient.
Lawyer
As a practicing trial lawyer, I handle client materials, court documents, contracts, and handwritten notes every day. CamScanner lets me scan paper documents on the go, keeping even case files that run dozens of pages crisp and clear. After scanning, I can merge, annotate, and convert them to PDF, a huge help when I'm meeting clients out of the office or handling appeal materials, and it has greatly boosted my efficiency.
Job Seeker
When job hunting, I always worried my resume didn't look polished enough, but many good-looking PDF resume templates can't be edited directly. CamScanner converts PDFs to Word, making it easy to edit the content and adjust the layout. I also use it to scan and organize my portfolio and various certificates, sorting them into different folders so applying and sending emails is much simpler.
