PDF to Word
Brings the words and paragraphs of a PDF into a .docx file you can edit. It is honest about what it is: the text comes across, the layout does not. Tables, columns, images and fonts are not rebuilt. For a report, an essay or a contract that is mostly text, that is usually exactly what you need.

About PDF to Word
- What does PDF to Word do?
- Brings the words and paragraphs of a PDF into a .docx file you can edit. It is honest about what it is: the text comes across, the layout does not. Tables, columns, images and fonts are not rebuilt. For a report, an essay or a contract that is mostly text, that is usually exactly what you need.
- Who is it for?
- Students handing in work, professionals sending contracts and reports, administrators preparing submissions, and anyone who has hit an email attachment limit. No technical knowledge is needed.
- Is it free?
- Yes. PDF to Word is free with no account, no watermark on your output, no daily cap and no trial period. Because it runs on your own device it costs us nothing to run, which is why there is no catch.
- Is it safe to use with confidential files?
- Yes, and not because we promise to behave. PDF to Word never sends your file anywhere — the work happens in your browser. There is no upload, so there is no copy of your document in our systems at any point.
- What file formats are supported?
- Input: PDF. Output: DOCX.
- Are there any limits?
- Text and paragraphs only. Tables, columns, images and fonts are not carried over.
- Will it look the same as my PDF?
- No, and it is better to know that before you start. You get the wording, in paragraphs, in the right order, ready to edit. You do not get the original layout, tables or pictures. Rebuilding those faithfully needs a full layout engine, which this free in-browser tool does not have.
- It says my PDF has no text. What now?
- Your PDF is a scan. Use the PDF OCR tool and choose "A Word document" as the output. It reads the page pictures first and then writes the Word file.
