PDF to Word

Convert a PDF to an editable Word document (best effort — complex layouts may shift).

Get an editable .docx out of a PDF so you can revise a document you only have in final form. Text, basic layout, and images are carried across into a Word file you can open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice.

Honest caveat most converters won't tell you: PDF is a print format, not an editing format, so complex layouts arrive as positioned text frames rather than free-flowing paragraphs. Simple documents convert cleanly; heavily designed ones need some tidying.

How it works

  1. 1Select or drag in your files

Frequently asked questions

Will the Word file look exactly like my PDF?

Close, but not always identical. Simple text documents convert very well; multi-column or design-heavy layouts arrive as positioned text boxes that may need rearranging.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word?

Not directly — a scan has no text to extract. Run it through the OCR tool first to add a text layer, then convert the result.

What happens to my files?

They're transferred encrypted, stored under random IDs, and deleted automatically within 1 hour of upload.

Why does my converted file open in 'layout' boxes?

PDFs store text by position, not by paragraph flow. The converter preserves those positions so nothing is lost — Word's “select all → cut → paste as text” is a quick way to reflow everything if you prefer.
