Turn a PDF into an editable Word document

Convert a PDF to a .docx file you can edit in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. The converter rebuilds paragraphs, keeps font sizes, bold and italic text, and places pictures where they were. Simple documents such as letters, reports and contracts convert best; pages with complex multi-column layouts may need tidying afterwards. A scanned PDF has no text to convert, so run it through OCR first.

Good to know

Answers to common questions about PDF to Word.

How close is the result to my PDF?

Paragraphs, font sizes, bold and italic, alignment, columns of figures and pictures are rebuilt as editable content. A PDF does not store structure, so complex multi-column layouts may need tidying.

My PDF is a scan. Will it work?

A scan is a picture of text, so there is nothing to convert yet. Run OCR PDF first, then convert the result.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. PDF to Word runs inside your browser tab and your file never leaves your device. Close the tab and nothing remains.
