PDF to Word converter

Turn a PDF into an editable Word document. Headings and paragraphs carry across so you can edit and reuse the text.

Works with PDFs that contain real text. Scanned pages (pictures of paper) need OCR software.

The text from your PDF appears here before you download.

How to use it

  1. Add your PDF.
  2. Check the text preview.
  3. Download the Word file and open it in Word, Google Docs or Pages.

Questions

Is my file uploaded?

No. It's processed in your browser on your own device and never sent to a server.

Will it look exactly like the PDF?

The text, headings and paragraphs come across. Complex layouts, columns, tables and images are simplified, so expect some tidying.

Why does it say no text was found?

The PDF is probably a scan, which is a picture of the page. Converting it needs OCR (text recognition) software.

Can I convert it back to PDF?

Yes. Use our Word to PDF tool once you've finished editing.
