PDF to Word
Convert a PDF, scan or photo to Word on your device
Fillstep reads the pages on your device and rebuilds them as an editable Word document with headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and pictures.
How it works
- 01
Pick the file
Choose PDF to Word for a PDF, or Photo to Word for photos of printed pages.
- 02
Fillstep reads the pages
Text is recognised on the device, in reading order, with headings, lists and tables.
- 03
Share the .docx
Open it in Word, Pages or Google Docs, or copy the text straight away.
Cleaner than copy and paste
Lines from the same paragraph are joined, words split by a hyphen at the end of a line are mended, and page numbers and repeated headers and footers are left out.
Private and offline
Conversion runs on your device, so it works without internet and the document never leaves your phone or Mac.

Good to know
- The layout is rebuilt from the text, so the Word file follows the original's structure rather than matching it exactly.
- Photo to Word is on iPhone, iPad and Android. PDF to Word is on every platform, including Mac.
