Check the converted document
PDF and Word use different layout systems. Review headings, tables, images, fonts, page breaks and spacing after conversion. A document with a complicated design may require manual corrections.

About this converter
Turn PDF content into an editable Word document
PDF files are useful for sharing a fixed document, but they are not always convenient when text, images or formatting must be updated. This converter creates a Microsoft Word DOCX file from an uploaded PDF so you can continue working with the content in a compatible editor.
Conversion quality depends on the source file. Text-based PDFs with simple layouts normally convert more cleanly than scanned pages or documents containing advanced tables, forms, columns and custom fonts.

PDF to Word FAQ

Yes. You can use this converter without creating an account. Any file-size or usage limits should be shown directly on the tool.
Will the Word file keep the original PDF formatting?+
The converter attempts to preserve text, images and basic layout. Complex tables, columns, custom fonts, forms and scanned pages may require manual adjustment after conversion.
Can I convert a scanned PDF?+
A scanned PDF contains page images rather than normal selectable text. Accurate conversion may require OCR support, so results can vary depending on the source document.
Can I use this tool on a phone?+

Why does my converted document look different?+
PDF and Word use different layout systems. Fonts, spacing, tables, columns and page breaks may be interpreted differently in the DOCX output.
How is my PDF processed?+
