PDF to Word Converter

How to Convert PDF to Word

1. Upload your PDF - Click "Choose PDF File" or drag the file into the box. Every page shows up as a thumbnail.
2. Pick your pages - Tick the pages you want in the Word file. Leave out covers, blank pages or anything you don't need.
3. Choose a mode - Editable text for reports, letters and contracts you plan to edit. Exact layout for magazines, brochures, scans, or anything where the look matters more than editing.
4. Convert - Click "Convert to Word" and wait for the progress bar to finish.
5. Download - Save the .docx and open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice.

Editable text mode handles up to 20 pages per conversion. For a longer file, convert it in parts, or switch to Exact layout for the whole document.

Two Ways to Turn a PDF into Word

Most PDF to Word converters give you one result and hope it works. PDF files are built for printing, not editing, so no converter gets every layout right. That's why this tool gives you a choice.

Editable text mode

The converter reads the text in your PDF and rebuilds it as real Word paragraphs you can select, edit and reformat. Clean documents like reports, letters, CVs and contracts come out closest to the original. Your file is processed on our secure server and deleted right after conversion.

Exact layout mode

Each PDF page is placed inside the Word file as a high-resolution image, with the page size taken from the PDF itself. Fonts, columns, charts and signatures look exactly the same. This mode runs entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your device. The trade-off: the text is not editable.

• Page selection - convert only the pages you need, in either mode.
• Clear file handling - Exact layout never uploads your file; Editable text deletes it from our server as soon as the Word file is ready.
• No account needed - upload, convert, download.
• Standard .docx output - opens in Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice.

Honest limits

• Scanned PDFs (photos of pages) have no real text inside, so Editable text mode can't produce editable text from them yet. Use Exact layout instead.
• Magazines, brochures and heavy multi-column designs can shift when rebuilt as text. Exact layout keeps them intact.
• Editable text mode converts up to 20 pages at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit the text after converting PDF to Word?

Yes, in Editable text mode. The text comes back as normal Word paragraphs. In Exact layout mode each page is an image, so the text looks right but can't be edited.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

It depends on the mode. Editable text mode sends the file to our secure server, converts it, and deletes it right after. Exact layout mode runs in your browser and the file never leaves your device.

Why does my Word file have more pages than the PDF?

In Editable text mode, Word lays the text out again with its own spacing and fonts. A dense PDF page can spill onto a second Word page. The content is all there, just spread over more pages.

How many pages can I convert at once?

Editable text mode handles up to 20 pages per conversion. Exact layout mode can take the whole file, within the file size limit shown on the upload box.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Exact layout works with scanned PDFs. Editable text mode can't pull editable text from a scan yet, because a scan is a picture of a page with no text layer.

What is the maximum file size?

The limit for your account is shown on the upload box. Editable text mode also caps files at 50MB. For bigger files, use Exact layout or compress the PDF first.
