What is PDF to Word conversion?
Converting PDF to Word means turning documents in PDF (Portable Document Format) into editable DOCX files that work in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. This lets you easily edit, copy and change text from PDFs. Our tool extracts text from each page of the PDF and creates a clean Word document with page breaks. The whole process runs in your browser - files are not sent to any server.

Tips for best results
- Text-based PDFs - PDFs created digitally (e.g. from Word, browser) convert best, not scanned documents
- Simple layouts - Documents with simple text layout give the best results
- Check the result - Always review the Word document and fix any issues
- Scanned PDFs - If the PDF only contains images (scan), text will not be extracted. You need an OCR tool
Frequently asked questions

Will formatting be preserved?

What about scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs contain images instead of text and cannot be converted with this tool. You need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software for scans.
What is the maximum file size?
