PDF to Word
Turn your PDF into a Word document you can edit. Headings, paragraphs, lists, simple tables, and images are rebuilt, and the text keeps its colors, sizes, bold, and italics. Scanned PDFs are read with OCR. It is an editable starting point, not an exact visual copy of the design.

What you get
The text and its structure are rebuilt: headings, paragraphs, lists, simple tables, and images, keeping the text’s colors, sizes, bold, and italics. It is not an exact visual copy of the design (it does not keep drawn shapes, merged cells, or columns); if you need the exact look, choose “Match original (image).”Options

How to use it
- Drag your PDF onto the box or select it to choose a file. If it has a password, enter it when the tool asks.
- Choose the pages to convert and how to handle page breaks. If the PDF is a scan, keep “Recognize text” on to read it with OCR.
- Select “Convert to Word,” then check the preview and the notes about the result.
- Download the .docx file and open it in Word, LibreOffice, or Google Docs to edit it.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is read and converted inside your browser, on your own device. Neither the file nor its contents leave it, so you can convert private documents. To read scans with OCR, only some language data is downloaded, never your files.
How close is the result to the PDF?
It works well with PDFs made from a word processor: headings, paragraphs, bold and italics, text sizes and colors, lists, simple tables, links, and images are kept in roughly their original position. Columns are read in order and joined into one. Drawn shapes and lines, merged cells, backgrounds, and text that wraps around an image are not kept. With a PDF designed for print, like a brochure, the result is only a base to edit; for that, use “Match original (image).”
Does it work with scanned PDFs or photos of documents?
Yes. Pages without selectable text are detected automatically, and you can recognize them with OCR, keep them as images, or skip them. OCR works best with straight, sharp scans at 200 to 300 dpi. Always check accents, numbers, and proper names, because no OCR is perfect.
Why did a table or column not come out like in the PDF?
A PDF stores text as loose boxes on the page, with no idea of what a table or a column is. The tool infers them from how the text lines up, so tables with merged cells, unclear alignment, or a lot of text can come out differently. In that case, try “One sheet per page” or fix the table in Word.
Which fonts will the document use?
The name of the PDF’s font is kept when it can be identified (Calibri, Arial, Times New Roman, and similar). If that font is not installed on your device, Word replaces it with a similar one, and the text may take a little more or less space than in the PDF.
Can I convert only some pages?
Yes. In “Pages to convert,” type a range like 1-3, 5 and only those pages are converted. With “Continuous text,” the content flows with no breaks between pages; with “One sheet per page,” each PDF page starts on a new sheet.
What is converted and what is not
The tool rebuilds the structure of the document from the position and style of each piece of text in the PDF. It is not an exact copy of the page and it does not replace a layout converter: it gives you an editable Word document to keep working on.
- Kept: headings (with levels), paragraphs, alignment, bold, italics, text sizes and colors, indents, bulleted and numbered lists, simple tables, links, and images in roughly their original position.
- Simplified: columns are read in order and turned into a single one; repeated headers and page numbers are removed (you can keep them).
- Not kept: backgrounds, drawn shapes and lines, merged cells, footnotes, and text that wraps around images.
Tips for a better result
PDFs exported from Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice convert far better than those designed in page-layout programs. If your PDF is a scan, choose “Recognize text” and the right language. To extract only the text, with no formatting, use PDF to text. To go back the other way, use Word to PDF.
