What you get in the Word file
The converter reads the layout of each page and rebuilds it in Word: paragraphs you can type into, tables with real rows and cells, and images where they were in the PDF. It opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Pages and LibreOffice.
- Editable text that flows, so you can change a sentence without everything around it jumping.
- Tables as Word tables, not pictures of tables.
- Images kept at their place on the page.
- Each PDF page starts a new page in Word.
How to convert a PDF to Word
- Drop your PDF in the box above, or click to choose it.
- Wait while each page is converted. You can see which page it's on.
- Download the Word file (.docx).
- Open it in Word, Google Docs or Pages and edit away.
The limits, up front
Most free converters show their limits after you upload, then ask for an email or a subscription. Here they are before you start: files up to 50 MB and 100 pages each, with no sign-up and no email. To keep the service fair for everyone there is a daily cap per visitor, set high enough that normal use never meets it.
Your file and your privacy
Converting to Word needs a proper document engine, so unlike our in-browser PDF tools this one runs on our server. Your PDF is stored only while it converts. The PDF and the Word file are both deleted as soon as you download, and anything not downloaded is deleted within an hour. There is also a button to delete it straight away without downloading.
We don't read, keep or share your documents, and there are no accounts to tie them to.
When a page doesn't convert perfectly
PDFs weren't designed to be edited, so no converter is perfect. Pages packed with charts or technical drawings can take a long time to rebuild as Word shapes, so those pages go in as a sharp picture and the tool tells you which ones. Scanned PDFs are pictures of paper, so they come through as pictures too. Text recognition for scans is on the way.
