A focused Windows workflow
Convert the document without breaking the rest of your workflow apart.
PDFs are designed to preserve appearance, while Word documents are designed for editing. Folio helps move supported PDF content into a Word file when the next step requires rewriting, collaboration, or reuse.
If the source is a scanned PDF, run offline OCR first so supported text can be recognized. Conversion results depend on document complexity, fonts, tables, images, and scan quality, so the exported file should always be reviewed.
Useful from the first document
Everything needed for the workflow.
Folio keeps related PDF tasks together so you can finish the document without moving sensitive content between unrelated services.
Recognize scanned text
Run offline OCR across 13 supported languages before converting image-based documents.
Review before export
Search, inspect, and organize the PDF before creating the editable output.
Prepare page structure
Reorder, rotate, crop, split, or extract pages so the conversion contains the right material.
Use additional formats
Export supported content to Excel, PowerPoint, and Canva-compatible presentation files when those workflows fit better.
Keep content local
Folio does not upload PDF content, extracted text, or OCR results to Folio servers.
Simple by design
From PDF to finished result.
Open and inspect

Common questions
What to know before you start.
Core PDF processing stays on your Windows device. Folio does not upload document content to Folio servers.
Can Folio convert a scanned PDF to Word?
Folio can run offline OCR on supported scans before Word export. Results vary with scan clarity, language, and layout complexity.
Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?
PDF and Word use different layout models, so complex formatting may require adjustment after conversion. Review every exported document.
Are PDF contents sent to Folio servers?
No. Core conversion preparation and OCR occur locally, and Folio does not upload document content to its servers.
