Converting PDF to Word without installing anything on macOS

Preview on macOS can export a PDF, but not to an editable .docx — only to other read-only formats. Getting an actual editable Word document out of a PDF on Mac typically means installing Microsoft Word itself or a third-party converter app.

PrivaPDF works directly in Safari or Chrome on macOS with nothing to install, and is compatible with both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs since the WebAssembly engine runs identically on either architecture.

Don't trust us.
Verify it yourself.

Open DevTools → Network while converting. You'll see zero outbound requests. Every byte stays inside your browser tab.

—Works offline — no internet connection required
—Nothing is uploaded — ever
