Convert PDF to Word

Turn a PDF into an editable Word document (.docx) for free, in your browser. Text, paragraphs and pictures are kept. No upload, no sign-up, no file limit.

Convert a PDF Get the Android app

Free. No account. The file stays on your device.

Convert a PDF to a Word file you can edit. The converter reads the text layer of the PDF, rebuilds paragraphs and headings, keeps the pictures and writes a standard .docx that opens in Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice.

The conversion runs on your own device, so a confidential contract or a scan of your ID never leaves your computer or phone. Scanned PDFs without a text layer can first go through the OCR tool.

How it works

Tap Convert a PDF and pick File Conversions, then PDF to Word.
Choose the PDF. The text is extracted and laid out as paragraphs.
Download the .docx or open it in the built-in Word editor to keep working.

Questions

Will the layout look exactly like the PDF?

Text, headings, lists and pictures are kept in reading order. Complex multi-column layouts are simplified into flowing text, which is what you want when you need to edit.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word?

Run OCR first: the OCR tool turns the scan into text, then convert the result to Word.

Is there a file size or page limit?

No. Large files just take a little longer because the work is done on your device.

Which Word versions open the result?

Any program that reads .docx: Word 2007 and later, Google Docs, LibreOffice, Pages.
