How to convert a PDF to Word

  1. Drop your PDF into the upload area above, or click to browse for it.
  2. Check the preview and the page count, then press Convert to Word.
  3. Your .docx downloads automatically. Open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Pages or LibreOffice.

Why the output is actually editable

Most free converters run your PDF through an office suite that recreates the page as a stack of absolutely-positioned text boxes. It looks correct until you try to edit it: text will not reflow, a table is not a table, and adding a sentence pushes nothing out of the way.

We reconstruct the document instead. Paragraphs become real Word paragraphs, detected tables become real Word tables with rows and cells you can tab through, and images are embedded rather than flattened into the page. That is the difference between a file you can read and a file you can work in.

About page limits and layout fidelity

Conversion runs while you wait rather than queueing in the background, which is what keeps the limits explicit: 10 pages per file on the free plan and 30 on a paid plan. Longer documents are best handled by splitting them first with Split PDF and converting the parts. Structure is inferred from layout, so accuracy tracks how conventionally the PDF was built: single-column business documents come across cleanly, while dense multi-column design work, sidebars and heavily styled tables may need tidying in Word afterwards. A scanned PDF has no text to read at all and needs OCR first.

Frequently asked questions

Will online PDF to Word conversion keep the original formatting?
Usually close, but not identical. Online PDF to Word conversion must infer paragraphs, tables and styles because a PDF stores glyph positions rather than document structure. Business documents often convert cleanly; dense multi-column layouts can need tidying.
Can I convert a scanned PDF?
Not directly — a scan is an image, so there is no text to move into Word. Run it through our OCR tool first to add a text layer, then convert the result. We check for this and tell you rather than returning a Word file full of pictures.
How many pages can I convert?
Up to 10 pages per file on the free plan, and up to 30 on a paid plan. The upper limit exists because conversion runs while you wait; for anything longer, split the PDF with our Split tool and convert the parts.
What happens to my file?
It is uploaded, converted and deleted. We do not keep a copy, do not index the contents and do not use your documents to train anything.
Do I need Microsoft Word?
No. The .docx opens in Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, Apple Pages and WPS Office as well as Word itself.
