Most "free" PDF to Word converters have a catch: they require your email address, force you to create an account, or limit you to 1-2 conversions per day. And the worst part? They upload your PDF to their servers — not great for confidential documents.
ShiftPx is different. It converts PDF to Word completely free, with no sign-up, no email, and your PDF never leaves your device.
Why Most PDF Converters Want Your Email
Simple: they want to market to you. Your email gets added to their mailing list, and you start receiving promotional emails. Some even sell your email to third parties.
ShiftPx doesn't need your email because everything runs in your browser. There are no servers involved, so there's nothing to track.

What Types of PDFs Work Best?
- Text-based PDFs: Best results — clean text extraction with formatting
- Reports & articles: Text, headings, and basic formatting preserved
- Forms: Text content extracted; form fields may need manual adjustment
ShiftPx works best with text-based PDFs. Scanned PDFs (images of text) require OCR technology, which isn't currently supported. If your PDF is a scan, try Google Docs (upload → open as Google Doc) for OCR-based conversion.
FAQ
Does it preserve formatting?

Yes. No daily limits, no file size limits, no watermarks on output. Everything runs in your browser for free.
Can I convert on my phone?
Yes! Works on iPhone, Android, iPad — any device with a modern browser. No app needed.
