Convert PDF to Word for free
This tool converts PDF files to Word documents in .docx format. Text can then be edited. Simple formatting, images and tables are preserved when possible. No installation or sign-up is required – processing happens locally in your browser. Complex layouts may differ from the original.
How to convert a PDF file to Word
1. Select a PDF file or drag it into the upload area. 2. Choose the conversion mode. 3. Optionally select specific pages and adjust settings. 4. Click “Convert to Word”. 5. Download the finished .docx file.
Editable text or faithful layout
“Create editable text” tries to reconstruct text, headings, lists, tables and images as real Word content. “Preserve pages as faithfully as possible” inserts each PDF page as an image. The first mode is better for editing later, the second for complex layouts and scanned pages.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF file, extracted content and the generated Word file stay entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Is the text editable in the Word document?
In “Create editable text” mode, yes – as far as text can be extracted from the PDF. For scanned PDFs or image mode, text is not directly editable.
Is the original layout preserved?
In visual layout mode, the layout is largely preserved because each page is included as an image. In text mode, layout may differ because Word uses a different document model.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs often contain images only. Without OCR, text cannot be extracted directly. In visual layout mode, pages are included as images.
Why does the Word file look different from the PDF?
PDF and Word store layout differently. Fonts, tables, forms and multi-column layouts may therefore differ. For maximum visual fidelity, use image mode.
Does it work on a smartphone?
Yes, generally on smartphones and tablets too. For very large PDFs, conversion is more reliable on a desktop device.
