Convert PDF to Word (.docx)

Convert a PDF into a fully editable Word (.docx) document, preserving the original text and layout as closely as possible.

Turn a PDF into an editable Word document while preserving the original layout as closely as possible, so you can keep writing instead of retyping.

What this tool can do

Convert a PDF with selectable text into an editable Word document. Tables, fonts and page breaks may need correction after conversion. A scanned PDF contains images instead of editable text: use OCR to extract its words, then rebuild and review the document.

How the conversion rebuilds your document

A PDF stores where each word sits on the page, not paragraphs or tables. The converter analyses that layout and rebuilds real Word structure: paragraphs that reflow when you type, tables with cells, and images in place. The result is a document you can edit, not a picture of one.

Simple documents such as letters, reports and CVs convert very closely. Complex magazine-style layouts, text on top of images and unusual fonts may need some adjustment afterwards.

Scanned PDFs

A scan has no text to rebuild, so the Word file would contain only images. Run OCR PDF first to get the text out, then paste it into your document.

How to use this tool

  1. Upload the PDF you want to convert.
  2. Wait a few seconds while it converts.
  3. Download the .docx file and open it in Word.

Frequently asked questions

Will the formatting stay the same?

The layout, fonts, and images are preserved as closely as the conversion engine can match; complex layouts may need minor cleanup.

Does this work on scanned PDFs?

This converts text-based PDFs to Word; for scanned images, run OCR PDF first to extract text.

Tips

  • If fonts look different, the PDF used a font that is not installed on your computer. Word substitutes the closest match.
