Three ways to convert
The right conversion for every PDF
Most converters give you one result and hope it works. Raha lets you choose, and the two text modes run entirely on your device.
Keep layout
Tables stay as tables, columns stay as columns, and images, fonts and colours carry over to Word.
RecommendedText only
Clean paragraphs and headings with no text boxes, ideal for rewriting, translating or copying into another document.
Runs in your browserScanned PDF (OCR)
Reads scans and phone photos into editable text in 90+ languages. Other tools charge for this.
Free, in your browserTwo languages at once
Pick a second language for documents that mix scripts, such as English and Arabic or English and Urdu.
OCR languagesOnly the pages you need
Convert pages 3–7 of a 200-page report instead of the whole file. Type the range before you convert.

Guides for converting PDF to Word
How to convert PDF to Word and keep the formatting
- Select your PDF in the converter.
- Leave Keep layout selected. It rebuilds tables, columns, images and fonts in Word.
- Click Convert to Word. The file is sent over an encrypted connection to our conversion server and deleted as soon as it is done.
- Open the DOCX in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice and edit it like any other document.
How to get clean, editable text from a PDF
- Choose Text only. This mode runs in your browser, so the PDF is never uploaded.
- Raha joins the broken lines of the PDF back into real paragraphs, keeps headings in bold, and starts each PDF page on a new Word page.
- Use it when you want to rewrite, translate or reuse the words rather than reproduce the look of the page.
How to convert a scanned PDF to Word
- Select the scanned PDF. Raha checks for selectable text and switches to Scanned PDF (OCR) automatically when there is none.
- Choose the document language. Add a second one if the scan mixes two, such as English and Arabic.
- Click Convert to Word. Each page is read on your device. The first run downloads the language data, which takes a few seconds.
- Check names and numbers in the result. OCR is very good on clean scans, but no OCR is perfect on blurry photos.
How to convert only some pages of a PDF
- Select your PDF, then type the pages in Pages to convert, for example 3-7 or 1,4,9-12.
- Leave the box empty to convert every page.
- Click Convert to Word. Only those pages end up in the DOCX.
How to convert several PDFs to Word at once
- Select several PDFs at once, or click Add more files after the first.
- Choose one mode for the whole batch and click Convert to Word.
- Download each Word file on its own, or all of them together with Download all (ZIP).
How Raha compares
Free OCR and a private text mode, built in
Scanned PDFs are where most free converters stop. Raha reads them for free, and the text and OCR modes never upload your file.
