PDF to Word

Turn a PDF into an editable Word document in seconds, without uploading it anywhere.

Converted on your device: the PDF is never uploaded. Text, paragraphs, headings, bold and italic are kept; images and complex tables are not.

How to convert PDF to Word

  1. Choose your PDF (up to 100 MB and 300 pages).
  2. Click Convert to Word. Progress is shown page by page.
  3. The .docx file downloads automatically. Open it in Word or Google Docs and edit.

How it works

Most PDFs store text as small pieces placed at exact positions on the page. The converter reads those pieces, puts them back into lines in reading order, joins lines into paragraphs by the spacing between them, and marks larger text as headings. Words split with a hyphen at the end of a line are joined again. Font names tell it which text is bold or italic.

What works best

  • Great: reports, letters, articles, résumés and forms made in Word or Google Docs and saved as PDF.
  • Simplified: brochures with several columns, tables and text inside images.
  • Needs OCR: scanned documents and phone photos of paper.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to convert confidential PDFs here?

Yes. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. The PDF is never uploaded to a server, so contracts, bank statements and ID documents stay on your device.

Why is my Word file empty?

Your PDF is probably scanned: its pages are pictures of text, not text. Run it through Image to Text (OCR) first to get editable text.

Will the layout look exactly like the PDF?

Text, paragraphs, headings, bold and italic are kept, and each PDF page starts a new Word page. Images, multi-column layouts and complex tables are simplified, so check the document and adjust formatting in Word.

Does it work with Google Docs and LibreOffice?

Yes. The .docx file opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer and WPS Office.
