Contracts, forms and reports arrive as PDF and need edits in Word. Filemorph extracts the text and structure of a PDF into a DOCX on your iPhone — the document never leaves your device.
Most free PDF-to-Word sites ask you to upload the file first, and the PDFs people convert are rarely harmless. NDAs, signed contracts, payslips, medical letters, tax forms: exactly the documents you would not want sitting on a stranger's server, even briefly. Filemorph converts the file where it already lives, on your iPhone, so nothing is transmitted anywhere.
Filemorph reads the PDF with Apple's PDFKit and rebuilds paragraphs, headings and simple tables into a Word document. It is a text-and-structure conversion, not a pixel-perfect layout clone: multi-column magazine layouts, floating text boxes and decorative fonts will come through as plain paragraphs you can re-style in Word. For scanned PDFs, run OCR Overlay first so there is real text to extract.
In the app: Convert → To DOCX.
Word lets you edit, comment, redline and quote text that a PDF locks in place. A DOCX file opens in Microsoft Word, Apple Pages and Google Docs, so you are not tied to one editor to make the change. That makes it the right format when the next step is editing the document, not just reading it.
Yes. Unlike web converters that upload your files to a server, Filemorph converts every file locally using Apple's frameworks. Nothing leaves your device, and it works with no internet connection. This operation is part of Filemorph Pro ($29.99/year, 7-day free trial on monthly and annual plans).
Paragraphs, headings and simple tables carry over. Complex, multi-column layouts and decorative design are approximated as plain text you can re-style — this is a text-and-structure conversion, not a pixel-perfect clone.
Only if the PDF has real text. A scanned page is just an image, so run Filemorph's OCR Overlay first (on-device, using Apple's Vision framework) to add a text layer, then convert to Word.
PDF to Word is part of Filemorph Pro. If you only need the words rather than an editable document, PDF to Text is free.
On-device, no upload. Plus 300+ more file operations.
